Description: I'm not sure this really classes as a 'bug' but more of a sort of interaction design abomination. I recently scanned a 100 page or so document. It turned out draw is a pretty cool program I already had that could take some of those segments of the documents, save them as different files, and also take out some of the duplicates that happened from me scanning things twice by mistake. Worked great. PROBLEM EVERY SINGLE wordy page, had OCR text placed on top automatically and I had to manually delete, and every word had its own separate text box. There is no easy way to turn this off that I could find through searching the help, looking around the program or even on a duckduckgo search. When exporting as a PDF it had this unremovable overlay scrawled all over my important documents. Someone of my developed high computer skills should not have to struggle with this. I hope this gets addressed asap as I hate bluders like this in great software and it reinforces the idea that open source software is clunky and unusable. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose a pdf file that is a scan of a computer-produced document with no actual text - so it is essentially a pdf image. 2. open said pdf file in Draw 3. Gaze in horror Actual Results: Dozens and dozens of text boxes appear on top of the words that have to be manually selected and deleted one by one. Even a scan of my passport picture produces the letter T on top of my face?? Expected Results: No text should appear scrawled on top of my scanned documents. At the very most it should ask me if I want to do such a thing. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 6.4.5.2 (x64) windows 7
When I open a pdf in acrobat the text is fine, but when I open it in libreoffice, it doesn't show the real text (it's a scanned book), I guess it only shows the OCR text (which did not make a great job). So after rotating stuff and export it export as pdf, it create a pdf with the OCR text (which is mostly unreadable). I thought the text OCR was just a layer in front of the image. So I try to delete the OCR text, but there is nothing (visible) behind. It's not intuitive at all. We need a box "remove OCR" (without having to convert it as an image, which damage the qaulity). And when we open a pdf it should we expect to open first the real pdf, a pdf converted by the OCR. (Though I imagine it's not easy to do)
