Is there an example snippet that can help with this or a pointer on
how to approach this?

I have a scanned book as a PDF, for example this google one:
http://ia600307.us.archive.org/21/items/lightsandshadow00whipgoog/lightsandshadow00whipgoog.pdf

When I OCR this in AcrobatX the filesize grows from 12 megs to 54 megs
(the images get bigger even though I use Searchable Image "Exact").
I'd like to open the original non-OCRd PDF and copy the OCRed hidden
text from the second larger OCR'd PDF into it, hopefully retaining a
smaller image filesize but gaining the ability to search and highlight
the PDF.

Thanks.
