Hello Community! I have an issue with bounding boxes in Acrobat DC

The issue happens in some documents, but not all of them. It appears that there are 2 layers in some scanned documents (as if the reader is having trouble flattening it into one editable image), and If I select the bounding box that looks like a boarder around the entire document and delete it, then I can edit the document, but some of the components of the document are lost and the fonts are changed, which compromises the document.

Any thoughts, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

thank you!

Is this editing by opening a PDF in Photoshop, or editing from Acrobat, using Photoshop as the image editing helper?

I am having similar problem some one may be able to answer; when editing an image in pdf with photo shop i.e crop, when the image is save and acrobat reopened the image has been fragmented into bits in different boundary boxes without any apparent reason or logic to the fragmentation. it is not based on shade or contrast or or or ???. It does not happen on every page very random, very annoying as you can no longer mover whole image into a new position.

Has some thing to do with automatic Clear scan OCR

That's correct. Such PDF files cannot be text edited.

Normal to have a visible layer, the original scan, and hidden text only for searching and indexing. Don't delete the top layer!
