Add a text box

Place a free-floating text box anywhere on a PDF page.

A text box lets you add typed text anywhere on a page — useful for filling blank form fields, leaving a comment or adding a label.

Place a text box

1. Choose the Insert tool group (button in the middle of the top bar) and tap Text.
2. Tap the spot on the page where the text should start, then type. The box grows as you type.
3. Drag the round move button to reposition the box; drag a handle on the frame to make it wider or narrower.
4. The bar above the keyboard changes the font and size while you type.
5. Tap Done to place the text, or Cancel to drop it.

Format the text

With the Select tool, tap a text box to select it. Change the colour and size in the Properties bar, or tap for everything else:

• Font — choose from the fonts available on your device.
• Font size — drag the slider or use +/−.
• Bold / Italic — toggle in the properties panel.
• Text colour — tap a swatch or pick a custom colour.
• Background colour — set a fill colour behind the text.
• Border — add a border around the text box.
• Opacity — make the whole annotation semi-transparent.

Resize and move a text box

Select the text box, then drag it to move it, drag a handle on the frame to resize it, or drag the round button above it to rotate it.
