This works great.
OK.
Recently, i added some page marks (text) at the top of each page
(using iText),
denoting page numbers, etc.. This now broke the ability to have
Acrobat OCR
the PDF, since it now contains rendered text.
That is correct, as the Acrobat OCR engine will ONLY process
"image only" documents.
My question, is there a way to add some annotations to the page, but
still allow
acrobat to OCR the page?
I would recommend that you OCR first and THEN apply your
"annotations".
My intial gut feeling is to render the text as images, and place them on the
doc... but i wanted ask if there was an easier way.
That won't help either, as you can only have a SINGLE image
on the page for Acrobat to OCR it. It won't do it for multiple ones, IIRC.
