How can I simply copy/paste a formatted text from another app into a PDF?

Help! See title...

Do you want to copy the text into a form field, into a comment, or into the layout?

Into the form field and layout (I guess it's been done differently seen your question).

Tx for responding! I'm using Acrobat on an Android tablet, maybe that's important to know too?

I thought it was possible in a text field with RTF format and in the layout, but I've just checked: the answer is no in all cases.
But I tested on the computer, not in the mobile version.
