Practical use cases
- Filling in a line on a form that has no fillable fields.
- Adding a date, a name or a reference number to a page.
- Labelling a document, such as “Copy” or “Approved”.
What it does — and doesn’t — change
The text is added on top of the page; the existing text is not edited or replaced. The built-in font covers Latin letters, numbers and common symbols (including accents, ñ and ¿), but not emoji or non-Latin alphabets.
Common problems
- You see a message about unsupported characters: the text includes characters the built-in font cannot draw, such as emoji or non-Latin alphabets. Use Latin letters, numbers and common symbols.
- The text lands slightly off the line you wanted: drag it in the preview until it sits where you want; the preview is what gets placed.
- Nothing happens: the text box is empty — type something first.
