PDF+text files and Apple’s PDFkit

Dear sir/madam,

I have huge trouble with a big collection of PDF+text files I have.

Since I work with mostly (sensitive) legal documents, and maintain an archive/database of them, that needs to be very searchable, I recently installed DevonThink Pro. With DevonThink you can do some advanced searches through your documents, and also PDF's as long as they are searchable.

The problem that occurs is that DevonTHink can't search inside the PDF+text files. After taking up the problem with them, they say it is an issue with Apple's PDFkit. And that seems to be true, as when I open the PDFs in preview I'm also not able to select single words (it "selects" in multiple lines of text).

As it is impossible for me to print out all these documents in my archive, then scan them and OCR them to make them properly searchable, I wondered if you guys now a workaround to make these PDF+text files "flat" or "basis" or "simple" or whatever, so that I can OCR them and have get the searchability back.
