Hi,I don't know exactly why they require OCR for the conversion, but it
isn't really anything to worry about, and you can create your own
profile to convert to pdf 1.6 and select OCR. If you still need to
convert without OCR, you can do the following:Convert the pdf to
postscript by using the service toPS, and then use createPDF to convert
from postscript to pdf using any profile you want, and you won't be
required to use OCR.Hope this helps.
