Hi,

 

We all know that creating a rectangle (and setting it up properly) could make invisible anything inside its contour.

I want to add test over it, but the text become invisibil as well.

Is there any way to make the text visible?

 

Thank you,

If you're trying to redact text in the file, this is NOT the way to do it. It's trivial to remove this "rectangle" (I assume you're using one of the commenting tools) and reveal the text underneath it, or extract it using other means.

If you want to remove text from a PDF file you must use the Redaction tool of Acrobat Pro.

I am sorry, but you missunderstand all the content of my thread.

I do not want to remove the rectangle. 

Also, I mentioned that  I want to add (not remove!) text.  Basicly, I just want to overide the rectangle with text......

Use the Add Text Box commenting tool.
