Disabling OCR while converting a PDF to AZW3 (or, other kindle friendly formats)

I have some scanned pdf books which I want to read in my Kindle Paperwhite.

In Kindle PDF files has no thumbnails (covers are not shown in the library).

So, to get the thumbnail I wanted to covert them into AZW3 as this format supports bookcovers as thumbnails in Kindle's My Library. But when I tried to convert the PDF the OCR automatically tried to generate texts from that scanned PDF which I did not really like because they mess with the original formatting.

Now, is there anyway to disable the OCR while doing the conversion have have the images scanned from the PDF to keep in the AZW3 (or, any other kindle thumbnail friendly format)?

However, I have noticed that if the pdf book is not english, the OCR does not work, and it keeps the scanned pages in AZW3, and that's what I exactly want, with english books too!
