To add text, first you will need to have Adobe Reader installed on your computer. If you don’t have it, you’ll find a link to the Adobe homepage here.
Once Adobe Reader is installed, open the program and click on “File” and on “Open…” to look for the document to which you want to add text.
When the document you want to edit is open, click on the “Tools” tab next to “Home”.
Now, to fill out a form or sign a document select “Fill & Sign”. This option will allow you to add text on a PDF form by clicking on the place you want to type something. You’ll even be able to change the font size.
You can also add your signature to the document by selecting a scanned image or by drawing it with your mouse or on a graphic tablet. You might as well just type your name and surname.
If you need to add comments to the document, select “Comment”. With this option you will be able to make comments as well as underline or highlight segments of text.
And, once you’ve edited the document remember to click on “Save”.
