I'm using Acrobat Pro 2019. I'm having this same issue.
I've attached a copy of my original "scan to pdf" of a document (an old Trig table), as well as that same scan file after it has been "Optimized" by Acrobat.
I've also attached a Word document into which I copied/pasted several of the numbers from column 8 on the Logarithms page of the pdf file.
As the Word doc shows, each of these copied items has some OCR mistake(s) that should be corrected, but that does not get reported when "Correct Recognized Text" is selected.
Looking for a solution, I came upon this thread and I tried the recommendation of checking the "Check Review Recognize Text" option.
However, all that did was to show display a very faded view of just the image. I couldn't "do" anything with it, not even copy any of what appears to be text. Looking closely, the "text" in that faded image does not have any of the OCR errors that show up when "copy/paste" is used on the pdf file.
Isn't there SOME way to display and edit the content of the actual hidden text file?
