Add Text does not work like it did before the upgrade.

Question

Before the upgrade I could click on "Add Text" and it would simply let me add text to my document, but now after the upgrade, I click on "Add Text" and it goes into "edit mode" showing all of the boxes, etc... on the form and making it very complicated to actually "Add Text" to the document.  Is there a fix for this? This is the main reason that we use Adobe and the fill and sign is WAY over kill for what we need this system to do with these documents.  We just need our simple Add Text back.

Hi @Norma31455880penv

Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear about the trouble caused

With Modern Viewer, many tools have been repositioned and renamed for a better user experience.

In the old UI, there were two places where the "Add Text" tool used to appear. One is under the "Edit tool," and another one is under the "Comment" tool for adding text.

In New UI, it's called Text under the Comment tool.

On this Quick toolbar if you do not have this "Text" added, then click on Customize

then Comment>select Text and move it to the Quick toolbar>Save

This should do the job as it used to.

To know more about Modern interface, please check this help guide https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/using/new-acrobat-experience.html

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Akanchha
