We need to insert images and jpgs to our custom designed Acrobat Professional V6 pdf document. There doesn't appear to be a simple method of copying a jpg from another document such as MS Word and pasting it to the Adobe Professional document. We tried pasting it to the Advanced Commenting Attachment Clipboard but the Clipboard remains shaded and unavailable. We also tried using the Create a Stamp method but the image will not be printable when done this way.
What are we missing? How can this be accomplished? It shouldn't be that difficult to copy and paste an image into Adobe Pro 6.0. Please advise if you know how to resolve. Thank you.
It has been awhile since I've used Acrobat 6 Pro; however, in 7 and above
there is a way to print stamps.
With the PDF open in Acrobat.
Select File > Print
The Print dialog opens.
In the upper right you may observe "Comments and Forms".
There is a drop down menu just below this.
One choice is "Document and Stamps".
When this is selected the Printed PDF will contain the stamp(s) that are
in the source PDF.
As to placing an image into a PDF -
This may be done with Acrobat 8 Pro/ 8 3D / 9 Extended.
I think it is also available in 7 pro.
Something similar may be possible with Acrobat 6 Pro.
With a PDF open, display the Advanced Editing toolbar and select the
TouchUp Object tool.
Place the cursor anywhere on the PDF page.
Right click to call up the context menu.
One choice, on the context menu, is "Place Image..."
Select this choice.
The "Open" browse dialog window shows.
Use the "File of type:" drop down menu to select one of the available
image file formats.
Select the desired image file. & click "Open".
The select image will appear on the PDF page.
Depending on the image you may have to do some adjustments.
Regardless, as a PDF is, essentially, an end product and not a layout,
formatting, word processing file format it is typically a cleaner
work flow to assemble content (text, images, etc.) in the authoring
environment and then generate the output PDF.
Two exceptions do come to mind. Forms and requisite post-processing for Section 508 accessibility.
