TEXT IN ACROBAT READER

The current version of Acrobat Reader (free version) does not allow adding text to a .pdf.   The "Add Text" box is missing.

 

Is there an app available to allow adding a line of text to a .pdf?

Acrobat is the app (you would go into Edit PDF). Tip: Acrobat Reader is free, Acrobat is paid for.

Yes, I understand that the paid version allows this.  

 

I should have phrased the question:  Is there an app that allows adding a text line to the free version?

Perhaps a browser add-on?

No, Adobe don't allow apps to add things to the free version that would be available by paying. But there is an "Add text" tool for commenting - it doesn't actually add a line, but it may be close enough.

Where do you read about the "Add text" box? Perhaps we can unravel this, since nothing was ever taken out of Reader.
