Why are you OCRing the PDF when you can open it in Word? After all, the text is all there. You could even just copy/paste the text from the PDF into Word.

No, the text is there but most of it is only as an image, not as a text PDF.
The small snippet of the document had some of it as text, but the entire document is more complicated.

You can't copy and paste all the text from the PDF. I wish I could.

If there was a way I could send you more I would, but the forum only allows small parts of the document to be uploaded.
