I actually downloaded a trial of acrobat x to test this.
And indeed it shows me that there is the hidden ocred text and than the visible text (which is no text at all)
and further some poorly scanned pages.
And indeed that text blocks accord to alle the places that are hidden ocred text.
So some questions:
1)why are the actual scans not shown on the reader? In neither app?
2)Is there no support for this kind of pdfs?
the desktop version pdf readers seem to handle it quite well.
3)Since I now have a trial off the full adobe acrobat:
Can i move the text from the hidden layer to the visible one and add the 50ish tables and images that obviously are not included in the hidden "text".
The hidden text seems to have the right layout at first glance.
4)And since I am messing around in the pdf, I guess there must be a way to embed the fonts to the pdf anyway? I have the complete list of used fonts from the acrobat reader app.
