Add text using the Typewriter tool
Use the Typewriter tool to type text anywhere on a PDF page. Organizations sometimes provide PDF versions of
their paper forms without interactive form fields. The Typewriter tool provides a simple solution for filling out such
forms. The Typewriter tool is similar to the Text Box tool, but includes a different set of default properties.

2 Click where you want to type, and then begin typing. Press Enter to add a second line.
3 To change the text size, select the text, and click the Decrease Text Size button or the Increase Text Size button in
the Typewriter toolbar.
4 To change the line spacing (leading), select the text, and click the Decrease Line Spacing button or the Increase
Line Spacing button.
5 To move or resize Typewriter text block, select the Select tool, click a Typewriter text block, and drag the text block
or one of its corners.
6 To edit the text again, select the Typewriter tool, and then double-click in the Typewriter text.
Note: To let Reader users type text in a PDF by using the Typewriter tool, open the PDF in Acrobat Professional, choose
Tools > Typewriter > Enable Typewriter Tool In Adobe Reader, and save the PDF.
