I've searched for what might be a really simple answer but couldn't find anything, so here goes:

I have a PDF that was created by scanning and OCR using Prime Recognition OCR software. When I try to convert it to ePub, all I get are the scanned images of the text, not text from the hidden text. I know the OCR worked because I can search the PDF, and I can copy text from it.

Is there a setting or preference that tells Calibre to use the hidden text for conversion rather than the image of the text?
