Added text to adobe acrobat is treated as image but not text

[yousif5D19]

Hello. When I use the comment tool to add text, the text added is treated as image. In other words, I cannot higlight the text, or search speicific words, or even copy it. I tried OCR tool but it did not work.

Not so much that it is an image, but that it is a separate layer, not really a part of the document. If you want to add text with full functionality, use Edit not Comment.

You can convert it to static text by flattening the file, either using the Preflight tool or by running this JS code:

this.flattenPages();

I just want to add simple editable text. I searched and it looks that after flattening the file, I won't be able to edit it. What's the best way to add simple editable text on pdf?

You ask "What's the best way to add simple editable text on PDF". I already said " If you want to add text with full functionality, use Edit not Comment." That is, the Edit tool in Acrobat DC.

After flattening the comment you can edit it using the standard Edit Text tool.
