I scanned a book and OCR'd it using ABBYYY but all I really care about is the text from the OCR and that it's organized by page. Is there a tool I could use to drop all of the scanned page images but keep all of the OCR text? I realize it wouldn't be human readable at that point, but that's ok because I'm processing the PDF with Python scripts.
Is it possible to remove PDF's images and only keep the OCR'd text?

@johnwhitington's comment to the question worked great for me. but it's not a complete answer.
cpdf -draft in.pdf -o out.pdf
you can get cpdf from https://github.com/coherentgraphics/cpdf-binaries
the
-draft
option removes images:You need to make sure you actually have text in the file first, of course - with Acrobat, that's the
editable text and images
option in the OCR settings - if you can copy a block of text and paste it outside and get readable text, you might have a pdf that works for this.This produces a perfectly human readable result (minus any supporting graphics, obviously).
further information and documentation on the cpdf tool can be found at:
https://www.coherentpdf.com https://www.coherentpdf.com/cpdfmanual.pdf
you may find a combination of
-draft AND -blacktext
useful (I did)
