Boilerplate on form that DOES show up in PDF report

    Hello, I want to create a form to generate a paper printout for a freelance payment request. It's all set up except for one thing: There must be boilerplate text at the bottom of the form, which Accounting Dept. can use to write in the coding and other information it needs to process the check. When I put just a text box on the form with that info in it, it did not show up in the report. So I created text boxes for it, and I had problems with that too. Is there a way to just put that boilerplate in so that it WILL show up on the PDF reports forms so I can print it out and send it downstairs? Thanks

     

    PS: Everything from "BUSINESS OFFICE USE" on down would be best as boilerplate for me, leaving space for Accounting folks to write in the necessary data. Everything should be on its own line, so seven lines with enough space for a little writing.
