Need to edit a PDF document but don’t want to pay for the more expensive Adobe editors? You can add text to and sign a PDF with just the free Reader program.

If you are unable to select or highlight specific text in a PDF document in Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows, this post will help you fix it.

Open the table in Acrobat Reader, then go to the left panel and click Fill and Sign. When the text cursor appears, click in the cells of the table and type the content.

You don't need the full Adobe Acrobat Pro just to sign a PDF. The free Adobe Acrobat Reader can easily handle that job.

The new XI version of Reader beefs up the commenting and Protected Mode features, while the latest flavor of Acrobat offers updated text and image editing.
