Text Box
Text Box lets you place your own text anywhere on a page — a note, a label, a fill-in on a form that doesn't have real fields. When you save, the text box becomes a real PDF annotation.
How to do it
- Choose Text box, from the toolbar or the Annotate tools.
- Pick a text color if you want something other than black.
- Click where you want the text.
- Type it, then press Enter to place it (Esc to cancel).
What to know
- It's held until you Save, then saved as a PDF annotation.
- Drag to move it; the corner handles resize it. Select the box first.
- Pin it to lock it. Click the pin badge in the box's corner to lock the box in place — a pinned box can't be moved or edited and lets clicks pass through to whatever's underneath. Click the pin again to unpin.
- Remove it with the ×. An unpinned box shows a small × next to its pin; click it to delete. Unpin first to reveal the ×.
- Print markup controls printing. Leave Print markup on to include saved text boxes when printing, or turn it off before saving new text boxes.
- Flatten markup makes it permanent. Use Flatten markup when you want the text box baked into the page.
- Prepare for Filing asks first. If saved RaioPDF markup is present, filing offers to flatten it or keep it live before continuing.
- Reorganizing pages clears unsaved text. If you rotate, delete, or reorder pages before saving, text you haven't saved is cleared — save first.
