I have documents that i need to make a quick edit to and send back to someone to use . And the problem is the file they sent me is a pdf however the text part of the pdf is being treated as a pic instead of as text so its not letting me edit the document . Can someone please tell me how to fix this .
LibreOffice has no OCR tool integrated, so there is no solution for your problem from LibreOffice.

Other non-free possibilities (local programmes): Abbyy Finereader, IRIS, Microsoft Word (2016 and later)
