But in my case both layer are visible and appearance of pdf is live overlap text. Is there any way to hide OCR layer in pdf files. and why it visible?

Answer
It sounds like you have the "OCR Suspects" turned on. In Acrobat 9 you can turn them of by choosing Document -> OCR Text Recognition and click off the checked of Find First (or All) OCR Suspects.

OCR Suspects are words that the OCR engine, Acrobat Capture, sees as possible mistakes. It highlights any word it sees as being "suspect" so you may easily find and correct them.

Thanks,
