Hello,

I have made a scan with OCR with acrobat pro.

But here is the result :

 

You can see that on this page, I have several text boxes.

How to merge all these text boxes in a single text box ?

I have just seen that my problem is coming from the acrobat pro OCR : 

1) if I use acrobat pro with OCR to scan the page, the problem is here (several text box on the page).

2) if I use another app with OCR to scan the page : the problem disappears (I have now a single text box for all the page).

Why the OCR in acrobat pro is not working well ?

So I cannot edit this PDF, because if I put my cursor at the end of a text box on this page, and if I write some text, the text I am writing is going over the following text (text overlap). So there is no solution ?
