It is limited in what you can do with it as a trial version (vis a vis the paid-for version) but it should at least resolve your uncertainty regarding the text boxes. Good luck.

I have. IIRC it occurred on pages with mixed text & images. Don't remember what software I was using (it was at least 4 years ago) but I seem to recall disabling 'regions' to get around that. Of course then it didn't import the images (the whole purpose of the regions was to define which areas of the document contained text, and which contained images) but in that case all that was wanted was the text anyway. IIRC we had to do quite a bit of cleanup on the text, probably because without the regions it was trying to OCR the images into the middle of the text.
I think. All I really remember for sure is that the text came out in text boxes that I was able to get rid of by fiddling with the settings, and that the result (post-fiddling) still required a lot of work.
