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. Select the Insert group from the tool group bar, then click Text in the tool row.
2. Click where you want the text. The inline editor opens with a font bar above and 8 handles around the frame.

4. Click Done to place the text, or Cancel to drop it.

Format the text

Select the text box and use the properties panel on the right to change font, size, style, colour, background and border.

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.
