I’m on my phone trying to fill out a form that came as a PDF from my landlord, and I can only view it, not type anything in the blank fields. I’ve tried tapping the boxes and holding down on the text, but nothing happens. It’s a lease renewal I need back by tomorrow, so any quick pointers would be a huge help. ---

I ran into this with a landlord form too. Open the file in PDF Suite, then choose Fill & Sign and tap the blank area to add text; if the boxes still do nothing, the PDF is probably just a scan, so use the text tool to place your answers over the blanks. ---

It might not be a fillable form, just a scanned image, which is why tapping does nothing. What phone do you have, iphone or android? That changes which built in app will let you add text boxes.
