Adding text box to PDF files
Hi, first time user here. I have spent hours trying to figure this out. I'm trying to add a text box and I go to Edit PDF but can only write text, not enclose it in a box. I am trying to find out how...
Because thats how the comments system works I'm afraid. The comments are not a part of the file itself but rather a 'conversation' type screen at the side of it. You have selected an area you wish to comment on, you then say what the comment is and it lists at that side. People can then move around the file and see those comments at the side at the points people have drawn around.
Also note that unless people are full members (i.e. have a logged in Dropbox account), with sharing rights, they wont be able to see this.

Thank you. Apparently someone at my company is doing this box with text, but they must be using a pdf editor like Adobe?
