Save as a TIFF file and live with the large file size.

Hi William

Saving into tiff format will be our last option.

We are talk, pdf files in the hundreds if not the thousands. Is there a way using javascript to remove the OCR content of a pdf file.

Thanks

Acrobat Capture could be used to set up a workflow that converted the
files to TIFF, then back to PDF, without OCR.

Print the files to Distiller and check the "print as image" option.
