--- Comment #1 from user546 <carnetday at gmail.com> ---
When I open a pdf in acrobat the text is fine, but when I open it in
libreoffice,  it doesn't show the real text (it's a scanned book), I guess it
only shows the OCR text (which did not make a great job). 

So after rotating stuff and export it export as pdf, it create a pdf with the
OCR text (which is mostly unreadable).

I thought the text OCR was just a layer in front of the image. So I try to
delete the OCR text, but there is nothing (visible) behind. 

It's not intuitive at all.


We need a box "remove OCR" (without having to convert it as an image, which
damage the qaulity). And when we open a pdf it should we expect to open first
the real pdf, a pdf converted by the OCR.  (Though I imagine it's not easy to
do)
