Could some one help me show me the options to mantaing everything - size, dpi, color etc. - but just get rid of the hidden text?

There's not a simple option to do this--to just strip hidden text--with k2pdfopt. What you have to do is use -mode copy, but you'll want to set your DPI and color depth to try and match what you have now. You can see information about how the PDF you have is encoded with the -i option, e.g.
k2pdfopt -i myfile.pdf
You can then select options to match, e.g.
k2pdfopt -mode copy -odpi 200 -c -g 1 -sh- -cmax 1 -ocr- myfile.pdf
This copies the dimensions, sets bitmap DPI to 200, turn on color output, sets gamma to 1 (no change), turns off sharpening, turns off contrast adjust, and turns off OCR (no hidden layer). You can try just a few pages of conversion by adding:
-p 1-10 (convert the first 10 pages only).
