Two objects have joined together - how do I split them again?

I have added two objects to a pdf, and they have mysteriously merged together. This is now causing me a real problem. I have tried deleting the text that is in the first object and recreating it, but Acrobat just joins the two objects together again!
Am I missing something here? Why is this happening?
Can I split the two objects again or do I have to do something else entirely?
Thanks in anticipation
Rob

Ok, I think I see what happened. There are actually no permanent text
objects in a PDF at all.
What happens is that Acrobat looks at all the text on the page, where
it is, and what is close. Then it decides how to split these up: what
you see now seem to be text objects.
So if you add two lots of text close together, they have no special
identity, and will indeed seem to become one object.

    Hi @Daveletterman,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your printer settings have been disabled, and you are wondering how to enable them again. I am happy to help!
    For further assistance, I will need the following information:
    The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
    If the printer is able to make copies.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    If the printer settings are disabled on the computer, or on the printer's control panel.
    If there are any messages when trying to access these settings.
    Please see this post, Want Good Answers? Ask Good Questions, by @Bob_Headrick, so you can get the most out of these forums.

  • Okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song.

    okay so i recorded a song but each part comes out as like take 1, i have 10 takes. how can i put them all together as one take, to make one song all in one take not small pieces of a song. like i hit record and sang the entire song but when i hit play it was in pieces not just one song like it was in ten takes. is there any way i can blend it all into one take, to make one clear song?

    You're not very clear in stating your problem. Maybe it's terminology: "takes" in recording lingo (and in GB lingo) are different version of exactly the same part in a song, so you only want one of them in the end. Please tell us exactly what you did and what it is that you don't like.

  • I have a DAQ Assistant configured to read multiple channels at the same time. When I wire a graph indicator to the output, I see all of my signals jumbled together. How do I split them up into seperate signals?

    I have a DAQ Assistant configured to read 2 channels at the same
    time. When I wire a graph indicator to the output, I see the 2
    signals jumbled together. How do I split them up into seperate signals?
    When I wire any type of indicator it is showing just one output of a single channel.
    I want 2 indicators showing 2 different signals as expected from the 2 channels configured. How to do this?
    I have tried using split signal but it end up showing only 1 output from 1 signal in both the indicators.
    thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes you are right. I tried that but I did not get the result.
    I just found the way. When we launch split signal, we should expand it (split signal icon) from above and not from below. It took me a while to figure out this. 
    thanks 

  • I have two iTunes Store accounts. How can I merge them?

    I have two iTunes Store accounts. How can I merge them?

    The ability to merge accounts has been raised a number of times, and I would have thought that it would be something that Apple has looked at (or maybe still is) - if/when it will be possible I don't know.
    It's also not possible to delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it. But any content that you bought/downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so only that account will be able to authorise that content on a new computer, redownload it and download updates to its app (so will need to remember the id and password)

  • My itunesu says I have downloaded the lectures, but the files are not on my computer, how do I "get" them again

    Hi there. I was downloading lectures from iTunesU. The status shows them as downloaded, however two lectures in the series are not on my computer/iPad. How do I "get" them again?

    The downloaded content should be in the iTunes U section of your music app. To navigate to iTunes U content launch the music app, click more and look for iTunes U on the resource list.

    I have just completed an update to IOS 5 and restored by phone from back up but all the text messages have disappoeared.  How do I get them back?

    Not for the iPhone. Go to Safari, go to maps.google.com, then add the bookmark to the desktop and you have most of what was in the native Google Maps app.

    I've lost mine, too. However, I've found that they're all there if I go in via the phone. The contacts app just shows "no contacts". When searching from other apps (such as Reminders), it doesn't find anything, but spotlight finds them.

  • HT4623 The icons for my camera and facebook have disappeared.  How can I get them back

    I installed IOS6 recently on my IPhone and now my camera and facebook icons have disappeared.  How can I get them back?  Help!

    For your camera, go to Settings>General>Restrictions and be sure that Camera is set to On.  Don't know why you can't find FB, be sure you checked all your screens and inside all your folders.

  • I synced the photos to my ipad from my pc which i dont have now. How can i delete them now ?

    I synced the photos to my ipad from my pc which i dont have now. How can i delete them now ?

    Do you normally sync to a computer? I ended up in the same boat when I'd synced some photos on, then got a new computer and forgot to remove the photos. What I had to do was set up to sync an empty folder on my new computer, which basically erased the old photos, replaced them with the nothing that was in the new folder.

  • When I run the cursor over a template it shows several pages but when i select the document it only brings up the first two pages to edit. How do I see them all?

    When I run the cursor over a template it shows several pages but when i select the document it only brings up the first two pages to edit. How do I see them all?

    Skimming the templates in the Template Chooser shows you all of the pages available in the template once you open it. You can insert the one(s) you want, even more than one of any of them. Most users don't want or need all of the different pages, especially when they start the document.

  • Some of my mailboxes have disappeared. How do I recover them?

    Some of my mailboxes have disappeared. How do I recover them?

    If they were on your phone when you last backed it up to iCloud, with some effort you may be able to restore them by following Winston Churchill's post here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22600445#22600445.

  • I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

    Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days.  After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them.  Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
    If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them.  However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so.  If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
    To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • Working alternating with iPhoto and FCE tgrying to import pictures from iPhoto into FCE suddenly all my 22300 pictures disappeared leaving empty frames. Does somebody know where the pictures could have gone and how can I get them back into iPhoto? Lothar

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
