Long time Mac user here. Via Preview (in all Mac OS), we can add text, highlight, etc. to a PDF. My office associate working on a PC in Win 10 can read or fill-in form fields on PDF but that's it. What product do we need to install on our office PC to be able to annotate PDFs like I can in Mac Preview? 

Thanks from desperate in Minneapolis.

Not any more on a PC! Just went through live chat session with this same issue...
I just want to add text to a PDF (Win 10) using Acrobat PRO DC - which used to do that (as did Acrobat Reader)


From Customer Care: "As per the recent upgrades in acrobat pro from 10 to 12 version, Livecycle Designer which was a part of it has been separated."


How convenient for Adobe to separate out one of the primary reasons for PURCHASING Acrobat PRO and now making it a separate bit of software FOR PURCHASE, yet again....     (angry face!!!)

Please tell us how the original question connects to LiveCycle Designer. Designer is ABSOLUTELY NOT a tool for adding text to PDF files.
