How do I add a text box to a PDF without modifying existing text?

Updated of Adobe has removed functionality of text additions.  If you want to add “TEXT” to an existing document, you must enter “EDIT” mode which then can cause all the existing text on the page to be disrupted.  Adobe refuses to provide solution or explanation of why this capability was removed.

    This does not work.  As I previously indicated, NOW, when you want to add a text field, you have to enter EDIT mode and that disrupts all the existing text on the document.
