Give back the text box

I want the framed box back. I put all kinds of status notes on PDFs and with the true Text-Box I could see them when browsing in Explorer.

Hidden comments or hidden sticky notes are useless for this purpose.

100% agree, the text box was KEY to being able to add information/notes, etc to any PDF, the add text feature is not helpful, it doesn't work the same way.

What happened to the Add Text Box - this tool was an important tool. Now you are so focused on competing with DocUsign that you have forgotten Users of basic functions.
