Use your pdf reader to save the pdf as text. That should save out the OCR text from the original pdf and drop the images of the text. Then convert the text document. You say you have "high-quality PDF with OCR" and that "They look good on my computer" If you are are looking at the scanned images of text, it will look good, but the OCR text, which normally does not display, may look awful, so this process may not work well.
