The AI made my PDF searchable and gave back blank pages

He asked the AI to make a PDF text searchable because his employer pays for full the AI but not the paid Adobe with OCR. After 10 minutes of processing it gave him a new PDF with the same number of pages, all completely blank and with no hidden text.

This one went wrong. Read what happened so you don’t hit the same problem.
