adding text (typed) to shared .pdfs?

New Here ,
Oct 26, 2022 Oct 26, 2022

the collaboration features seem severely limited in Acrobat-- our team can share .pdfs but are limited to drawing, commenting and highlighting. We cannot add text or other content to a shared .pdf. 

Adobe says this is how it is designed-- does anyone have a workaround?

Go old school and share the file via a dropbox download link. Each person gets a copy and they can mark it up however they want. Once everyone is done, export all the comments from the PDFs as a FDF files, then import those into the main original document.

 

Alternatively, you could put the folder in a shared dopbox folder and each person can open it one at a time. That way, all the comments will already be in the the one document.

would this work for typed text (rather than comments)? adobe allows us to share and comment collaboratively, but it does not allow us to add a text box with typed text onto the .pdf (which is ideally what we want). is there a way to export text additions and merge them into one .pdf at the end? thanks!
