* Issue with PDF Text Objects:
* When importing a PDF into AutoCAD, text objects may be converted to polylines.
* This happens because AutoCAD interprets the text as vector graphics rather than editable text.
* Conversion Process:
* Option A: The Combine Text tool (TXT2MTXT) is used to combine multiple text objects into a single multiline text object. It does not convert polylines back to text.
* Option C: The Edit Polyline (PEDIT) command and Join option are used to join polylines, not convert them to text.
* Option D: The JOIN command is similar to PEDIT and is used for joining polylines.
* Correct Tool:
* Option B: The Recognize SHX Text tool (PDFSHXTEXT) is specifically designed to recognize text that has been converted to polylines during PDF import. It converts these polylines back into text objects.
* Conclusion:
* Use the Recognize SHX Text tool to select all polyline text objects and convert them back to editable text.
