How does the Add Text Field work?
Add fillable AcroForm text fields onto an existing PDF — for converting a flat scanned form into a real fillable form, or adding custom inputs to a template you generated elsewhere. Different from Fillable Form Builder, which generates a whole new blank form: this drops fields onto pages of a PDF you already have. Each line specifies position, size, internal field name, and optional human-readable label. The label is drawn above the field as a courtesy when "Draw labels" is on.
