OCR PDF documents convert to word lost text layer

I am using below code to convert a OCR PDF to word,

            Document asposeDocument = new Document(outFilePath);
            String newOutFilePath = basePath + outFileName + "." +SaveFormat.Doc;
            asposeDocument.save(newOutFilePath, SaveFormat.Doc);

how ever, the word document generated sucessfully but the text layer lost.

Please try using below method to convert scanned OCR’d PDFs into DOCX and let us know if you still face any issues:

import com.aspose.pdf.*;

public class ConvertPdfToDocx {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Specify the input PDF file
        String inputFilePath = "support_2.pdf";
        String outputFilePath = "output.docx";

        // Load the PDF document
        Document pdfDocument = new Document(inputFilePath);

        // Iterate through pages of the PDF
        for (Page page : pdfDocument.getPages()) {
            // Initialize the TextFragmentAbsorber
            TextFragmentAbsorber absorber = new TextFragmentAbsorber();
            page.accept(absorber);

            // Process each found text fragment
            for (TextFragment fragment : absorber.getTextFragments()) {
                fragment.getTextState().setRenderingMode(TextRenderingMode.FillText);
                fragment.getTextState().setFont(FontRepository.findFont("Arial"));
            }

            // Clear images from the page resources
            page.getResources().getImages().clear();
        }

        // Set up the DocSaveOptions
        DocSaveOptions saveOptions = new DocSaveOptions();
        saveOptions.setFormat(DocSaveOptions.DocFormat.DocX);
        saveOptions.setMode(DocSaveOptions.RecognitionMode.EnhancedFlow);
        saveOptions.setRelativeHorizontalProximity(2.5f);
        saveOptions.setRecognizeBullets(true);

        // Save the PDF as a DOCX file
        pdfDocument.save(outputFilePath, saveOptions);
    }
}

I got below exception:
