Is there any easy way to add text to pdf on PC?

Honestly, I didn't believe Word for the web could do this at first. Microsoft's docs are clear: Word for the web can't open PDFs directly—PDF isn't even in its supported format list. But if you save the PDF to OneDrive first, convert it once in desktop Word, you can then edit it in the web version.

How I Did It:

1️⃣ Open desktop Word, go to File > Open, pick the PDF. Word prompts you to convert it into an editable document—click OK. Then Save As a .docx into OneDrive.

2️⃣ Open OneDrive in your browser, find the .docx, and open it with Word for the web. It's now a normal Word doc—type wherever you want. When done, File > Export and download as PDF.

The "free" part depends on you already having a Microsoft 365 subscription, since desktop Word does the actual conversion. Word for the web alone can't open PDFs. So if you want a purely web-based, zero-install how to add text to PDF without Acrobat solution, this isn't it—it's more "borrow desktop Word for conversion, then light editing in the web version." But if you have a subscription, it's a practical how to add text to PDF without Acrobat option that saves you from buying Acrobat.
