I agree that you should really do this in the original document, but sometimes you can use the text edit tool to add the carriage return. You may just as likely get a really messed up PDF, only the try will let you know for sure.

This type of edit should not be performed in the PDF. You need to edit the

original file and then create a new PDF.

If you can't do that then either export it or try to move all the text

"boxes" you see. There's no other way of doing it.

How to add a blank line/return!

So simple, it would seem, and yet I can't find a way to do this in adobe acrobat!

All I want to do is stick a blank line in the pdf, a return. At the moment the text reads like this?

"jskdbvjkls\bvj\s

skjfdbvjkashbvgkj

askjfnvlkasjnvskjdn"

I would like it to read like this:

"jskdbvjkls\bvj\s

skjfdbvjkashbvgkj

askjfnvlkasjnvskjdn"

akfgnvlkasfdnvgkangfhmxfhgmnxfhmxgfhmgfxhmghmghm

The narrow text is a poem (in the middle of some prose) and I'd like there to be a space between the end of the poem and the start of the explanation. However, they each seem to be inside different boxes(?) and if I press return to create a blank line, the last line of the poem overlaps with the first line of the prose. I've struggled with this for ages, but can't find a way to do it. Can somebody set me free from this incredibly annoying frustration?
