If you decompress the PDF object stream that renders the OCR text, you'll see this line (or these two tokens) near the beginning of the stream:
3 Tr
"Tr" stands for Text Render, and 3 means invisible. If you change the 3 to a 0, the text becomes visible. The only tricky part is decompressing the stream since it's usually compressed. See p. 246 of
Adobe's PDF Reference.
