'Toolbars,' then 'More Tools' are the options. Select 'Typewriter Toolbar' from the 'More Tools' dialogue box's bottom section. 'OK' should be selected. If the 'Typewriter Toolbar' appears, the PDF creator has activated the Typewriter in Adobe Reader, allowing you to type directly into the document. **4th step** Select 'Typewriter' from the drop-down menu. **5th step** Start typing in the document to which you wish to add text. Press 'Enter' to add a new line. **6th step** **Select the text and then use one of the buttons on the Typewrite**r toolbar to edit it. Text size, line spacing, text color, and font can all be changed in Reader 9**. Click the 'Select' tool from the 'Tools' menu under 'Select & Zoom'** to relocate the text to a new spot. Drag the text block to a new location by clicking and dragging it. \
