Insert Text in a PDF Document

Aug 7, 2012 10:25 AM

I am trying to edit text (insert text) in a pdf document using Adobe 9 Pro.  When I click on Advanced Editing, touch up text tool.  I select a box around the text and begin to type, nothing appears the cursor moves but nothing is typed.  I need immediate help .

    Check the font colour. Check the font, see if it works if you select a different font.

    See if it works if you type the same word that was already there (that will tell us something).

    Editing text and Adding text require different tools.

    The Touch up text tool would be used to modify; add, modify or delete within a line of existing text.

     

    To add text to an open area, the Typewriter tool would be necessary.

     

    Don't expect full editing abilities.

    Actually, I would not use the typewriter tool for that. It adds an annotation, and that may not be what is needed.

     

    Personally, I'd add text with the Touch-up Tool. Ctrl+click will allow it.
