You can add sticky notes or text boxes anywhere on the PDF. Under the Toolbar you can add text, highlights, drawing, sticky notes, and more. To keep alignment with the other list items, press or hold the Shift key while you drag. When the cursor changes to the Move pointer, drag the box to the new location. Hover the pointer over the line of the bounding box to move the text box. The properties are automatically applied and can be changed using the options under Format.įrom there, you can type text and resize the text box by dragging the selection handle. The Add Text tool can detect font name, size, color, character, paragraph, line spacing, and horizontal scaling text properties when close to the point of click. If you want the text to be vertical, right-click the text box and choose to make the direction vertical. Drag to determine the width of the text box you want to add. This problem only recently started happening on a couple of new sites that I need to print pdfs and would like to know if you found a solution before I try to invent one myself.To add text, select Tools > Edit PDF > Add Text. Sorry for having to revive this old post, but I just came across this exact same problem you are describing.


It says installing Acrobat 8 Professional is “allowed” AFTER installing Adobe Reader 9! It does not discuss adding Adobe Reader 9 after having Adobe 8 Pro installed. PS I just found at Adobe’s support on this question. That is the only workaround area I think is available to me, and I’m looking for some insight on how to get both to work together on Win 7 64bit if anyone has done so.

I’ve researched Adobe Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 or 9 co-existence issues at and find conflicting answers, one of which is do not install Reader when you already have a full Acrobat version on your system. If there is no Reader then there is no access. It is not a plug-in issue – I think it is a programming issue that fails to accept any pdf application other than the free Reader. When I click on each pdf icon to view/print or download, I get the message insisting on installing the latest Acrobat Reader to access them. It occurs only when I log in to certain sites that have pdf files I need.

My current problem is not universal across all websites. It took me awhile to 1) update Acrobat 8 to 8.3 (which works fine with Win 7) 2) set it as a default and 3) get pdf’s to preview properly on almost all websites and within Win 7 explorer.exe and Outlook 2010. Thanks for responding – Acrobat 8 Pro and PDF Converter both have browser and MS Office plug-ins. Probably that one has no browser add on or plugin, so the browser does not use it.
