Import file store textual PDF vs. graphic PDF

I could use some help and advice on importing a textual PDF file into UR.

I am using the --- "Files" option on the "Import - Select Source" dialog, and then proceeding. I proceed to "Import - Select Files" and give the path to the PDF file I wish to import.

I select the option to -- Store files contents in Ultra Recall.
There is a greyed out option with a checkmark saying -- Do not process documents for text, summary or icon information.

I proceed and UR -- performs the import.

If the PDF file is basically graphic information (non-searchable within a pdf reader) -- the import performs as I expect. UR stores the file, and shows a link to open the stored document, and a link to open the original file.

However if the PDF file is Textual information (searchable within a pdf reader) --
the import creates an info item -- showing me text. Likely not as well formatted as in the original PDF file.

In both cases the -- Item Attribute -- is Document.

The Textual type of PDF is not being processed as I expect. I want to just store the PDF file itself within UR.

Bug? Comments? Advice?
