Introduction: How to Add Text to PDF Files
It seems to have been an agreed way to display electronic files in PDF format. PDF file is really of accessible and portable that everyone is able to view it with a viewing program.
Nevertheless, it is just because of the feature that intact and fully describes source files that you are not allowed to natively add text to PDF files.
And you can look over the Adobe Reader for the functions of adding text to a PDF file and find nowhere it is enabled. Then you will realize that if you want to do so, you need to find or a solution or at least a tool.
For this Acrobat pro/standard users can make use of preinstall tools. They are Touchup text tool, typewriter or text box tool.
Usually you can find them under tool menu > advance editing > Touchup/ typewriter or Comments> Comment & Markup Tools> text box tool
As far as I concerned, the most satisfied one among them is Touchup text tool. Because you can add text at anywhere you desired within the PDF file while other two are not so considerate to take care of all your problems about how to add text to PDF file.
Typewriter doesn’t allow you to insert new text into existing text
and you need to press “enter” to change to a next line otherwise it will gradually close to the edge of the page. Compared to Touchup, it can’t detect original font type and size and add text to a PDF form or other PDFs seamlessly.
The Text Box tool will simply meet the needs of commenting and typing on the top of PDF files.
However, the people who don’t have any of above tools or are not gratified with the abilities they enabled may wonder if there is any good or improved solution to add text to PDF files easily.
Therefore, you can alternatively use a PDF editor with a totally text add and edit tool.
