Question

Adding text on top of text

I have the newest version of Adobe Acrobat - the non-colorful one released in April 2023 and I cannot figure out how to just add text on top of existing text (ie a form field) in the document. It wants to try to edit the existing text instead of adding new text on top of it. The whole menu is different and this is not self-explanatory. Help!

Hello, I'm not trying to add form fields. I'm trying to add text to a PDF document anywhere on the document.
