Adding text on top of text

[Centennial Co27591735je8h]

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!

Thank you for allowing me to disable the new Acrobat.  It was not working well!

No, this page did not help at all. It only tells you where to find the 'add content' option, but not how to be able to add text on top of existing recognized text. Try it for yourself 🙂

Hi there

Is this an issue with a particular PDF form or with all the PDF forms? Does the PDF form include layers?
Please share the PDF file with us so that we can check it at our end.

This is an issue with all of the PDFs, not just one.

You're joking right? This is the response to that simple question - FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF? Why did you even respond?

To add form fields use the tool Prepare Form.

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

View>Disable new acrobat, then it will prompt you to restart.
