How Do You Edit Text In Adobe Acrobat?!
So my bio prof posts the bio notes as .pdf. I have adobe acrobat 9 professional, and i know how to use the text touch up tool but it only lets you edit one line at a time, and doesn't have word wrapping.
Is there any way to efficiently fill these notes in using adobe, or is it better to just print them off and write in them myself?

i have a mac so im not sure if this only applies to macs but theres a button that says "Annotate" at the top and if you click on that, a toolbar comes up at the bottom which allows you to make text boxes in order to write your own notes in.
hope that helps!

Open your pdf (using Adobe) and print to it (OneNote).
