Can I fill in a form that has no fields?

Yes. Click on each blank line and type. The text is written onto the page, so it prints and shows in every PDF reader.

Which characters are supported?

Added text uses an embedded font with Latin, Greek and Cyrillic letters, including accents, umlauts, the euro sign and typographic quotes. Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters are not supported yet; you will be told before downloading if your text contains them.

Can I edit text that is already in the PDF?

Use Edit PDF Text to change the existing words. Add Text to PDF puts new text on top of the page.
