By making it a form (Use Buttons and Forms panel) and save it as interactive PDF.

You use the Buttons panel to make Text fields and then export it as an Interactive (not Print) PDF. You can tweak the text fields in Adobe Acrobat.

Ask if you need more details.

Is there some sort of step by step for this? I just tried to do this but it is not working and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!?

You didn't say what's not working?

But draw any kind of frame > select it with the Selection tool > Use the Buttons and Forms panel to convert it to a text field.
Use the panel to do any formatting
Repeat
Export to Interactive PDF. Preview it and tweak it there.
It will not work in InDesign, and it now occurs to me this is what we both forgot to mention before. If that is what you thought wasn't working, I send apologies. If it was something else, please say what it is!

Thank you everyone! This helped me!!
