I have not found any way to set this in Acrobat Pro itself, as far as I recall. Pro 8 may provide it somewhere, though.
If the PDF file is OCRed already as "text under image" format, printing to PDF printer will lose the OCRed text and only keep the image. Furthermore, the file size increases by at least four times if you have previously run Paper Capture on the file by Acrobat 6.0, which, from my experience, can reduce the PDF file size by four times than if you OCR by Acrobat 7.0. I haven't found a way to overcome this dramatic file size increase issue yet. It bothers me because the Sony Reader appears to like small files.
