Even after removing text layer, Acrobat refuses ClearScan OCR because "page contains renderable text."
Even after I remove the hidden text layer in a PDF, I'm still not able to run an OCR with "ClearScan" (i.e. "Editable Text and Images"). It's strange because the text layer appears to be gone, yet running OCR produces the error "Acrobat could not perform recognition because: page contains renderable text."

I remove the hidden text layer via Protect > Remove Hidden. I make sure "Hidden Text" is checked and then I click "Remove." I *can* successfully run ClearScan OCR if I first export the text as an image.

I am able to run OCR with the "Searchable Image" option, just not with "Editable Text and Images"
