this gotta be the most unhelpful answer!
I don't think you'll find a magic wand that'll guess your intended goal. What you should be looking at it's far a workflow, a combination of tools. Since you know your material and where you want to get at after trying several things and converting and adjusting a few of the pdfs you'll realize which tools are good for your needs.
There no shortage of tools edit and manipulate pdfs so I give you a few off the top of my head:
LibreOffice
imagemagick
gimp
different pdf readers and their convertig options.
What you have to do is google 'pdf' + "program" + "approximate goal" and you'll get a lot good results.
At the begining it might sound like a inconveninet thing to do but after you see the results you'll get the hang of it.
Lastly, Safari's PDF viewer got a pretty darn good OCR when highlighting pds.
