Editing a single page with another program like photoshop- why is it not easy any more?

I've been highly frustrated with the newest update as it feels to have removed several features that I often used.  So perhaps someone can tell me the proper solution to this as I've run out of patience.

 

I'm working on client files that involve a lot of scanned in documents.  This is the third update and I have over 100 unnumbered pages that will go into 3 ring binders with tabs.  There are some things where I need to edit the scanned image and change type that someone had fun with adding 3d effects in Word.  If I click over to edit tools in Adobe Acrobat, it starts to run OCR and deskewing.  I don't know if there is a way to tell it to not do that automatically anymore.  Changing the type using the adobe tools looks BAD.  I can edit easily in photoshop, but I don't want to save it as a new file. I can't figure out why I can't just click on that page, select edit in photoshop, make a few quick swipes with the clone tool to make my correction and then click save.  That used to be the procedure, but I can't make it save the photoshop back into my multipage pdf anymore.  It will only save as a separate file.  I can't select that scanned page as an entire image and edit it because any selection of an edit tool breaks apart the image as it recognizes there is text on it.  [Pics of how Acrobat wants to edit it, and how it looked before editing]

^ how it looks before

 

I run into different errors when removing and reinserting the corrected page with the "Organize pages" tools.

 

Is there an EASY way to do this anymore?  I am fighting every step to keep it from automatically running some sort of recognition or "fix" that muddies my images.  This is a printed product so having text data added into the file is useless.

 

Thanks.
