Sorry, I assumed it is clear. My bad.
OCR - optical character recognition; in Acrobat this option can be accessed via the main menu:

Document -> OCR Text Recognition -> Recognize Text Using OCR.

This operation will convert scanned pictures of text into the actual text; it will place it beneath the picture, so the original layout will remain intact. This will texs you will be able to search and highlight and annotate.

If you also go to the Preferences (Main menu: Edit -> Preferences) and check "Copy selected text into Highlight, Cross-out, and Underline comment pop-ups" (on the tab "Commenting," section "Making comments"); the text you highlight will be automatically copied into your comments, which can be exported into a separate file.
