OCR is not part of the Document Cloud PDF services. Even in Acrobat you just explicitly run OCR it does not happen automatically when exporting an image. I believe a recent version of Acrobat did do automatic OCR on opening image files but I turned off that feature as it can ruin as many PDFs as it works successfully on. I only use OCR when I need it.

You're wrong. ExportPDF does offer OCR: Using OCR in Adobe Export PDF, Document Cloud, Reader

I agree it's not very clear (what does "edits" mean, exactly?), but how is it misleading? As I wrote, it should be possible to perform OCR.
