Insert an image into a PDF file

OK, I'll give up and ask. It doesn't seem like it should be that hard with the SDK to insert a JPG or BMP into a PDF file, but I'm struggling to do it. I'm new to the Acrobat SDK, but I've done automation interface programming for years.
I'm using C# with PDDoc and AVDoc, but I can go with Javascript or a plug-in if necessary. I'm using Acrobat Proffesional 7.0, but I'll upgrade if necessary. (It looks like the Acrobat 8.0 user interface makes it easier than in 7.0.) I'd rather use the SDK, but I could use an automation interface or command-line interface to a third-party tool if needed. I'm all client-side; no server-side needed.
Can anyone give me some pointers to get started? Or point me to some sample code or a third-party tool? I've read a thousand pages of SDK documentation and spent hours in this and other forums.
Thanks for your help.

To add it as real page contents, not a button or annotation, would
probably need a plug-in, unless there is some stamping function. To
write a plug-in you would start with reading the PDF Reference to know
the basic internals, graphic and colour models of PDF.

  • Insert an image into a pdf in preview

    Hi All,
    I would like to know hoe to insert an image into a pdf in preview.
    Thank you in advance for any opinion !

    The only way I know to do that would be with Adobe Acrobat which is rather expensive.  Or, you can try the roundabout method:
    1- open the pdf in Preview and begin a Print Process.
    2 - do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto
    NOTE: works with anything you can print.  Creates a 200 dpi jpeg image of each page and saves it to iPhoto.
    3 - use a 3rd party image editor or Pages from iWork to add the transparent background gif or png logo to the image of the page.
    4 - to get it back to a pdf do a Print ➙ Save as PDF. 
    If you don't have the Save PDF to iPhoto in the PDF menu you can download it from  Toad's Cellar.  There are two versions, one 200 dpi and one 300 dpi.

  • Can you insert and image into a PDF documnet?

    HI,
    I have a project in which we are generating a PDF form and filling in the values that a user has submitted. Before we fill in the information, we need to insert two images that will change each and every time.
    I have used  cfpdf addWatermark howerver, that only allows me to insert one image as a water mark and if I call it again to try to add the second image only the last one added gets shown.
    Has anyone used itext directly to do this? If so, how? Or if there is a better solution please let me know.
    Thanks in Advance,

    I would start googling for itext. This is what CF uses to create the PDF

    Good luck!

  • How can I insert an image into a PDF?

    I am using Acrobat 9. I created a document in InDesign and now I want to add an image to the PDF without going back to InDesign. How do I accomplish this without using the Stamp tool. The reason why I do not want to use the stamp tool is because when this document is created and sent to someone else to see and print, if they do not change their print setting to print Document and Markings, the images will not show up and I want to make the document "idiot proof." If I use the button feature to create the document, then the message to fill in a form appears at the top and there is no field to fill in.
    Thanks
    Barbara

    If you have the image you want to add as a PDF (this works well for me) you can add a button under TOOLS - FORM - Button tool.
    Once you have drawn the box, In the options tab go to Layout menu and move to icon only. This will enable you to choose where the source for the image will be. Ensure that you click the advanced tab after you have chosen you file, and have the scale proportionally and fill box. This way you can scale it to any size you want.

  • How do I insert a page into multiple .PDF files?

    Hi everyone, I have several hundred PDF files every month, and I need to insert a page at the end of each document.
    The files and insert are in PDF format. What is the easiest way to do this?
    I am using Acrocrbat 10.
    Thank You

    If you have Acrobat X Pro, and the PDFs aren't secured, it's easy to do it with an Action.
    File > Action Wizard > Create New Action
    Set "Start with" to "Ask" so you can choose a folder each month
    From the panels on the left, choose Pages > Insert Pages
    Click the Options icon, choose the file containing the page you want to insert, then set it to After / Last Page
    Set the Save To options to suit what you want.
    Now you can run the Action against an entire folder of PDFs.

  • How i can insert an image into a pdf fiile, (ie: like an "object" on word)?

    Hi

    Thanks
    Spanish:
    quiero insertar en mi pdf, un icono relacionado a un archivo de imagen tipo jpg,  y que al hacer clic sobre ese icono, aparezca la imagen relacionada. Como se hace?

    Hi dan_p,
    You can simply add a 'button' to the pdf and go to 'Properties> Options', select 'Layout as Label' and choose the desired icon.
    Then click on 'Actions' tab on the same menu and 'Select Action' as 'Open a file' and Add the image location such that anyone who clicks on the icon button will display the corresponding image.

  • How can I insert jpeg images into a PDF's Header and Footer?

    International Clients send me a lot of pdf price lists (hundreds).  I want to be able to easily add our letterhead header and footer jpegs to my Acrobat one time so that I can then have them easily placed and printed on each new original document I receive when I (re)print them as a new (compressed) pdf.   This will streamline my work so that when I send them out and they start circulating among Buyers they can clearly see that we are the US contact for XYZ Client?
    Thank you.

    If you add a background or water mark, as opposed to a footer/header, you can specify an image to use.
    You can also use JavaScript to add a custom toolbar button or menu item so that you can easily add the images to a documant, or even in a batch process, using a variety of methods. Post again if you'd like more information.

  • Adobe 3D PDF - inserting 2 images in 1 PDF

    Hi
    I was hoping someone could help.
    I have inserted two 3D images into a PDF each with their own toolbar which allows each image to be rotated,zoomed by its respective toolbar.
    However, the problem is that the second image toolbar doesnt control the second image as it should do, but instead carries on controlling the first image. Hence my question is that is it possible to insert two images into a PDF so that they can be controlled separately?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Thanks SWS for that suggestion but Ive already tried this and unfortunately it did not work. Basically I am importing a VRML file into Strata and then exporting it into a 3D PDF.
    I reckon its an issue to do with the scripting - somehow I need to change the script so that the toolbar works for the image on each different page instead of just working for the image on the first page. Ive included a copy of the toolbar script below.
    TOOLBAR_ALIGNMENT='center' // Valid values are 'center', 'left' or 'right'
    TOOLBAR_BUTTON=['ResetButton','MeasureButton','MoveButton','TurnButton','ZoomOutButton','Z oomInButton'] // Buttons names must not be changed
    TOOLBAR_BUTTON_ACTION=new Array()
    TOOLBAR_BUTTON_ACTION['MeasureButton']=""
    TOOLBAR_BUTTON_ACTION['MoveButton']="this.doc.getAnnots3D(%1)[ 0 ].context3D.setCurrentTool('Pan')"
    TOOLBAR_BUTTON_ACTION['ResetButton']="this.doc.getAnnots3D(%1)[ 0 ].context3D.resetUnconditionally()"
    TOOLBAR_BUTTON_ACTION['TurnButton']="this.doc.getAnnots3D(%1)[ 0 ].context3D.setCurrentTool('Rotate')"
    TOOLBAR_BUTTON_ACTION['ZoomInButton']="this.doc.getAnnots3D(%1)[ 0 ].context3D.zoomIn()"
    TOOLBAR_BUTTON_ACTION['ZoomOutButton']="this.doc.getAnnots3D(%1)[ 0 ].context3D.zoomOut()"

  • Insert pdf file into another pdf file keeps getting stuck

    I am trying to insert a 5 page pdf file into another pdf file (both unsecured) and it keeps getting stuck at about 71%* conplete. I can't even get the file to show up on the screen so i can close it. Help?

    I have tried several different files, and get the same phenomenon with each one –
    1.     I open an acrobat file.
    2.     I open a WORD file.
    3.     I copy a sentence from WORD to the clipboard.
    4.     I click on View in Acrobat, Tools, Pages, other options, insert from clipboard.
    5.     Acrobat shows that it is copying, and when it gets to 67% it stops and runs and runs and then only way I can stop it is to go to the task manager and end task.
    I tried refrying with a file and that didn’t work, and I can’t imagine that Acrobat was designed so that each time I try to insert from WORD I would have to refry (even if it did work).
    Please help!
    Thank you
