The text you type won't automatically wrap to the next line, for example - you have to hit the Return/Enter key to stop your text from continuing out past the page edge.Īlso, you're limited to your system's default font. The problem is that the Typewriter tool is clunky. Click on the Typewriter icon in the toolbar and you can click anywhere on a PDF page and start typing. You can access it in Acrobat 7-9 by opening the Typewriter tool bar (View > Toolbars > Typewriter) or from the Tools menu. Many people would say the Typewriter tool, and that's a good answer.
