how do you keep bullets from converting into symbols when going from word or ppt to pdf with OCR ?

So I use pdfelement to edit files and it has a built in OCR. I always run into this problem where when I convert a word file or a ppt file into a pdf , it transforms bullets (• like this one) into symbols. Meaning the software dosen’t recognize it as a bullet anymore and it treats it like a letter or a symbol. When I copy paste the text from the now converted pdf into another file and I try to merge it with another list, it dosen’t remove the old bullets and leaves them there. It looks something like this : - • bananas - • almond - milk. - • grapes - • butter. I then have to remove every bullet individually. Is there a way to somehow avoid this ?
