As far as I know, Adobe's Acrobat Reader does not have any OCR capability by itself. I believe, however, that you might have some OCR program installed like Omnipage. It will provide such options in menus of applications like Acrobat Reader or Word to perform an OCR and automatically convert it to the application's format. But I have not used this capability since Omnipage 13.
