OCR app that doesn't OCR!? :)
I seem to remember seeing libreoffice can import PDFs these

could import PDF and export HTML from office.
LibreOffice -
File\Export as PDF…\General\General
- Embed OpenDocument file
Makes this PDF easily editable in LibreOffice
LibreOffice Help:
Embed OpenDocument file
This setting enables you to export the document as a .pdf file
containing two file formats: PDF and ODF. In PDF viewers it behaves like
a normal .pdf file and it remains fully editable in LibreOffice.
