Add, edit, or move text on noninteractive forms or when signing
Organizations sometimes provide PDF versions of their paper forms without interactive form fields (called "flat
forms"). Use the Add Text tool on the Comment toolbar to fill in non-interactive forms or to add text to documents
you need to sign. Text added with this tool is actually a comment and does not change the original PDF.
