Hello,

I have a question.

Is there a way to remove the OCR in a .pdf?

I want to keep the text, but I don't want people to find the text with the search button.

I can print the pdf to an image, but then the quality is to bad.

I have several pdf's in one pdf, made with Framemaker. see attached.

Does anyone have a solution?

regards

Pieter

      Try file>Export>Image. Choose .tif. Create a new PDF from that .tif.
