Hi,
Is your text coming from an internal table or it is a standard text that you want to print in adobe form?
If it is standard text or long text,Creating a Text node by right clicking on the top node  and then
CREATE -> TEXT.
In the properties of the TEXT node select Text type Include Text and then provide the Text Name, Text Object, Text ID and Text Language values as shown below.
Drag the  structure from the interface into the Context. 
We can pass the Text node properties values dynamically as well.
If our application makes no use of the Business Address Services but you still want to have country-specific addresses, we must use ABAP coding to achieve this. It is possible to do this in the application program or in the initialization coding of the interface.
In interface,
Define Import parameter under Form Interface. 
     IS_CUSTOMER_ID     TYPE     S_CUSTOMER
     IS_COUNTRY          TYPE     LAND1
TYPES:
  BEGIN OF ty_adr_printform_table_line,
    line_type      TYPE ad_line_tp,
    address_line LIKE adrs-line0,
END OF ty_adr_printform_table_line.TYPES:
    ty_adr_printform_table TYPE TABLE OF ty_adr_printform_table_line.
Define Global Work Areas and Internal Tables under Global definition as shown below.
