Add text using Add Or Edit Text Box (Typewriter tool)
Use Add Or Edit Text Box (Tools > Content > Edit Text & Objects) to type text anywhere on a PDF page.

3 Click where you want to type, and then begin typing. Press Enter to add a second line.
Note: If a blue text box appears, double-click it to get the I-beam so you can enter text.
4 To change the text properties, select the text using the Selection tool in the Common Tools toolbar. (You may have
to double-click a word to make the text properties available.) Then use any of the following tools in the Typewriter
toolbar:
• To change the text size, click the Decrease Text Size button or the Increase Text Size button. Or choose a typeface
size from the pop-up menu.
• To change the line spacing (leading), click the Decrease Line Spacing button or the Increase Line Spacing button.
• Choose a color from the Text Color pop-up menu.
• Choose a typeface from the typeface pop-up menu.
5 To move or resize Typewriter text block, select the Select tool, click a Typewriter text block, and drag the text block
or one of its corners.
