Image Added to PDF FFile via Preview Adds Large, White Border

::not sure where to stick a 'Preview' discussion::
I've downloaded several books as PDF files to add to my iBooks app on my iPhone, and I'm wanting to give them their respective book covers. I open the PDF file in Preview, drag and drop the image to the top of the list to create the cover, but I get an ugly, white border around the image itself. There is no white border on the image file itself, so I have no idea why this border is being created.
I've noticed smaller image files have a larger border, but the image I'm using is 716x1024. It doesn't matter if I increase the image size to help reduce the white border, it still remains.
Any advice?

Edited to add - sorry, my description was slightly wrong.
If I open a single .JPG in a new Preview, and save it as a .PDF, the dimensions are fine. The issue only occurs if I try to add .JPG's to existing PDF's.
It also occurs if you use the shell to convert a single JPG image, i.e.
"/System/Library/Printers/Libraries/./convert" -f /users/me/downloads/cvg06300162.jpg -o /users/me/downloads/cvg06300162.pdf
- this gives the reduced size image as well.

How to open image added to Pages doc in Preview app?

Hello,
Anyone know hot to open images added to Pages in preview app on Mac? When I click on any image with right mouse button I have in menu these options - "Open in Pixelmator and Capture selection from screen".
I tried to make my own Automator service "Open img in Preview" and it work well in Finder and other apps (I selected it in Automator option to work in all apps) but this service is not show in Pages > Services.
Anyone know how to fix it or how to make this service visible in Pages? I tried to found "Open in Pixelmator" workflow on my Mac to rewriting or save my "Open img in Preview" workflof into same folder but no chance. In (Library > Services etc)
Thank you for you kind, sorry for my English
Jan.S

I don't know how Pixelmator created their Service, but I suspect it involves programming that is beyond my abilities.
The following AppleScript will copy the selection in Pages and open a new preview window from the clipboard. It could be run as a Service with Automator. (It will also leave the image on the clipboard; if that is a problem, it could probably be modified, but I didn't get that sophisticated with it.)
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "Pages"
                    set frontmost to true
click menu item "Copy" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Edit" of menu bar 1
          end tell
          tell process "Preview"
                    set frontmost to true
                    click menu item "New from Clipboard" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1

Preview shrinks JPG's when added to PDF

I have an existing .PDF file, and if add a new page, then drop a .JPG file onto it, the picture shows very small with a large white border. In the Slideshow view it also appears very small.
If I open the .JPG on it's own in Preview, the picture shows as the correct size, but if I save it as a .PDF then re-open it has shrunk again. If I look at the info for the file, the dimensions are 612 * 792, whereas the .JPG file is 969 * 1331.
Why does Preview shrink .JPG pictures when added to an existing PDF, or saved as a new .PDF?

Please please help! White border in interactive PDF

Hi Everyone, Please someone help me as its driving me mad! I have an interactive PDF with SWFs added via SWFPresenter script- all the animations work (each picture fades in as expected) but instead of it being full screen (as in the first screenshot), it has a large white border (as in second) Any ideas would really help me!!

Moved to InDesign forum.
When you export you will note that you export an Adobe PDF. There's a reason for that.
Mac Preview is fine for a plain vanilla PDF but it ends there.

You're welcome.
Once you installed the plug-in, it will appear in /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/BorderFXExporter.iPhotoExporter/
To use it, select your photo in iPhoto and use "File > Export > Version".
You should see "BorderFX" as a tab in the Export panel. Click it.
Then the BorderFX dialog will appear. Experiment a bit.
Once finished, click "export".

How do I add LaTeX or an image to a PDF in Preview?

I would like to be able to annotate a PDF with math formulas. I saw an option for adding latex, but I can't get it to work. I could create the image of the formula that I want to add, but I can't seem to add an image to the PDF either.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nicole

With Acrobat Professional (perhaps also with Standard)
From the tools menu
The TouchUp Object tool can perform copy & paste.

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.

Preview and safari do not display images in a pdf, where as chrome will. How do I fix this?

I'm on the newest OS X Yosemite and I have an issue with viewing pdfs in both preview and safari. The figures show up fine from Chrome. This also leads to the issue of when I try to print off the pdf. The images do not appear in the printed version.
Safari/ Preview:
Chrome:

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

HT2506 every time i open an image or PDF file using preview the mac take a long time to load and opens every single file the usually opens with PDF at the same time after a noticeable delay i would like to know why and i would like to know how i can avoid

every time i try to oppen a file like an image or a PDF it oppens by default using oreview built in appliction
occasionally this is accompanied by a long delay after wich the preview oppens every file in the downloads folder and i can navigate through them with ease
i would like to know why the application has this elay i really want to avoid it
because every tome i want to oppen an image there is a risk it would take a minnute or two

In the finder right click on the iPhoto library and show package contents, find the folder named import (or importing) and drag it to the desk top. Do NOT make any other changes of any sort. Launch iPhoto and you will Be fine. Open the import(ing) folder and if there are any photos in it you need import them to iPhoto then trash the imoort(ing) folder.

HELP Trying to add a printable image to a pdf Acro Prof 6

I've already spent 4 days too many on this project. I've been asked to take this pdf and create one identical for the company. It's a fillable form also so instead of trying to recreate everything from scratch I was able to edit the text and change over everything that I needed to, which wasnt much.
Except.... I can not get our company logo on the top of the page. I have Acrobat Professional 6. Yesterday I finally thought I solved the problem going under Tools -> Advanced Commenting -> Attach -> Paste from clipboard. But because its just a "comment" when I go to print it wont show up.
I've been told to just add an image to the Header, yet I am unable to figure out how... Once I'm under this section it only allows for Text, not an image.
I'm really pulling my hair out here over this... If anyone can please tell me how to add an image to a pdf (which is a fillable form) that when printed will actually show up as well PLEASE HELP.

I just opened the watermark tool in AA8. I don't have AA6 handy. It has a scaling and location on the page after I select a graphic file to import. It also shows a sample page so I can see how it will display. I do not remember how watermarks worked on AA6. Will try in a bit.
For AA6, it looks like you can only put in a PDF file. In that case, use a word processor to create the desired result you want for the background (the entire page, not just the logo. Then create a PDF to use for the watermark or background. Open the watermark/background tool and insert your new PDF (not sure if you should use background or watermark - might give both a try and see if that does the job. At least it appears to be what my system suggests. You need to be sure you use the same paper size since AA6 places the whole page you create. You might be able to use other sized, but then you have to deal with centering and such. Unless you have time to play a bit, I would create it the one the same size paper as I have suggested and then it is one less thing to have to work out.

What is the image resolution in the PDF file for an "Add Image"?

I am using Acrobat Pro XI. I added a 600 dpi image to my PDF file. When I click on it and copy a chunk of it, then paste it into paint, the image resolution is 96 dpi. How can I tell the resolution is of images in my PDF file? I am trying to keep at least 300 dpi image resolution. Thank you for any help in understand this.

then paste it into paint, the image resolution is 96 dpi
That's the consequence of using the OS's clipboard.
A PDF can have image content of different resolution.
You can look in the application's Preferences - Convert to PDF - [select one of the supported image file formats] to observe settings.
Some are user configurable.
Basically if you insert "x" ppi that's the resolution of that image that is not on the PDF page.
Be well...
