I have a large PDF document, with Image on Text.

The text has become corrupted in parts, perhaps because OCR was run more than once. The text, when copied looks like this (eg) "hhheeelllooo"

How do I delete the text without destroying my bookmarks, comments, links etc?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro Extended 9.0, Windows

Perhaps the Examine Document feature would help.
One function this has is the ability to remove Hidden text
while leaving other document related information as-is.
The Acrobat Help file provides details for this feature.

Try it on a trial copy of the PDF.

Be well...
