IN terms of into vs in:
"Into," is used to signify movement - a change from a situation where you were not inside something to one where you are:
Examples:
1) I am in the park.
2) I am just walking into the park now.
You should use "onto," to also signify a change in status.
In terms of a document, an English speaker would probably say:
1) "I am adding this into the document," if they were adding/ inserting information within the text that already existed in a document, but
2) "I am adding this onto the document," if they were adding extra information - such as an appendix, at the end of a document.
I do not think that a native speaker would say " I am adding this in the document," because you need the suffix "to," to indicate that a change is taking place.
"Onto," also has the same sort of meaning as "on top of."
"I placed the book onto the table." = "I placed the book on top of the table."
