Convert PDF text to better quality

I've a scanned image who's text is selectable and searchable. In other words it no longer is an image. But the quality of how the text looks is really poor (as if it were a scanned image). Is there a tool I can use to fix this?

Just try a Select All (Ctrl + A or similar) and then copy/paste into some kind of tect-based editor (i.e. Microsoft Word, Notepad, Emacs... etc).

This will show you the raw text (without the bitmap image) - however, be prepared for OCR errors!

OCR tools often show the bit-map to hide the text they get wrong. What OCR tool did you use?
