Inserting PDF signature into documents

I was wondering if I could use AppleWorks to insert signatures into contracts and other documents that people email me such as Word docs, leases, etc.
I have my signature and initials saved on my hard-drive as PDFs and JPEGs but have to open these docs in Photoshop in order to paste, place my signature. Photoshop takes a while to boot and uses a lot of RAM when open and was wondering if there's a lighter program I could use? Preview won't let me import images, but a small program like that is what I'm after.
Sorry if this is miscategorized, didn't know where else to post it.
Thanks!

AppleWorks would be a poor choice for this task, as it treats all imported bit map images as having 72 dpi resolution. Pretty jagged by today's standards.
You might try Pages, part of Apple's iWork '09 suite. You can download a 30 day trial of iWork from this page. The link is on the left, toward the bottom of the page.

Barry

  • Unable to insert pdf object into 64-bit Word 2010

    I have always been able to insert pdf files into word documents.  However, when I upgraded to the 64-bit version of Word, I started experiencing the below issue.
    My setup is: Windows 7 64-bit, Word 2010 64-bit, Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro v9.4.7.
    When I attempt to insert a pdf file into Word, I receive the following message:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.  That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.  To edit this object, install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed."
    I have researched this issue a great deal. 
    Previously, I found a posting which specified some registry keys to delete.  I followed these directions and it worked.  But, after installing some updates, the issue is back and I am unable to find the post specifying the registry keys to remove.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Solution:
    Open Adobe Reader / Pro
    Go to Edit àPreferenceà General (LHS)àUncheck “Enable protected mode at startup”.
    Adobe Reader’s protected mode will be disabled
    Now try inserting Adobe document in Word, it will work.

  • I want to insert .pdf files into a "Master" .pdf file at pre-determined intervals - how do I do this?

    I want to insert .pdf files into a "Master" .pdf file at pre-determined intervals - how do I do this?

    Hi markm11762689,
    When you insert pages, you can determine whether they go before or after the first or last page, or a page number that you specify.
    If you're inserting multiple files at once, they will all be inserted in the same spot that you specify in the Select File to Insert dialog box.
    There may be a way to handle this programmatically, and there are some very clever folks who visit these forums regularly. Let's see if they chime in...
    Best,

  • Inserting PDF in Word Document

    In previous versions of MS Word and Adobe (Specifically Word 2010 and Adobe 8 & 9), I could insert a PDF file in a Word document.
    This no longer works using Word 2010 and Adobe X. Is there some other way to do this? Now I can only insert the PDF as a object which means it is not full page, its a miniature version of the real file.
    For example I am creating a document that that explains how to complete specific forms. So after each set of directions ( or in an appendix) I need to inclide full page copies of the forms.  These are templates basically, that the person can print out, make additional copies, fill them out when needed.
    How do I get a full page PDF form into a Word 2010 document using Adobe X ? In other words I want the PDF to insert as a page, not apicture on a page. And I know I was able to do this before we upgraded Adobe and Word versions.

    Then it's a bit of a puzzle. As far as I know this never worked. Since it worked for you maybe you used to have some extra software I haven't heard of.

  • Inserting PDF form into Word

    I am needing to insert an interactive PDF form into a section in a word document. It is an approval page and MUST be pdf-protected, but still let the user fill in the areas where allowed. Word lets me insert this file and I am able to type in the areas where needed - the interactive feature works great to this point. Even after saving what I've typed/entered, it still doesn't display what I typed in Word (the inserted interactive PDF). Can anyone tell me how I can get my pdf to work properly this way?

    I have not done this but I can assure you that there is nothing in Designer to do with this. At that point it is a PDF so how woudl you add any other PDF to your swing panel?

  • Unable to insert pdf object into ppt or word

    I am unable to insert a pdf object into Word or Powerpoint.  I have Adobe Reader 9.3 and Windows 7 MS Office 2010 64 bit.   Previously, I was able to perform this task without issue with the same software. 
    For word, I get:
    "The program used to create this object is AcroExch.  That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding.  The edit this object install AcroExch or ensure that any dialog boxes in AcroExch are closed". 
    For Powerpoint, I get:
    "The server application, source file, or item can't be found, or returned an unknown error.   You mayneed to reinstall the server application." 
    Was an update sent out that may have caused the issue? 
    Or is there a solution to resolve the issue?  The ony solution I have sound is Disabling Protect Mode which does not apply to this version of Reader. 
    Any help would be greately appreciated.  Thank you.

    There is another thread on this and seems to be an ongoing issue with neither Microsoft nor Adobe owning up to it.  What I did to work-around the issue is create a .zip file of the .pdf file which can then be put into the workd doc as an object file icon.  Worked for me.  Not the best solution but this has been ongoing since 2011, and this worked.

  • Inserting pdf file into database

    I am trying to insert a adobe pdf file into a multimedia field in my database and while I can get it to cut and past I would like it to auto size into the box that I have defined for it. I have many records to compile, thousands. Some of these pdf files have several pages and it would be nice to be able to scroll through thier content in that multimedia field box. How do I do this? Is it possible? If not I assume I am stuck with making a link that opens the file. I assume this is possible. How do I do this?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Shane

    Hello
    You may enter the Layout > Layout mode to enlarge the area dedicated to the multimedia field.
    But there is no provision for an autosize feature.
    The link soluce is not available in databases.
    I mimic it true the "enhanced database" structure requiring an AppleScript.
    You may find the script on my temp iDisk or in the Peggy's one which is organised well.

  • 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

    Why would you do that?  Just use Character Viewer to input Apple's built in emoji.

  • How do I insert an signature into my email messages?

    How do I setup a signature to have automatically in my emails?
    Thank you.

    Rick,
    Thanks for your help. Yes, admitedly, I would benefit from some RoboHelp training, but I was hoping to pick up from were I left off. Five or six years ago I created an HTML WebHelp project using RoboHelp 6. I'm trying to edit and expand on it now. Miraculously, I got it working--after having to manually rebuild the Table of Contents, Glossary and Index. But now I want to create new html pages.
    So, I copied the html content of an existing Robohelp html page, copied into Notepad, renamed it and Imported into my project. Shazaam. It's there, I can view it, edit content, etc. But I now want to add some images from outside of RoboHelp.
    In RoboHelp 6, the File, Import menu selection included an option to Insert a graphic file. I don't see that anywhere in my application. What I do see are options to insert the following: HTML/XHTML, Framemaker Document, PDF Document, Word Document, DITA Map, XML File, Adobe Captivate Memo, Master Page, Snippet, Skin, and Skin from the Web.
    How, then, can I get a jpeg file off of my hard drive into the newly created RoboHelp html file? There's got to be an easy way, right?
    Thanks,
    Pete

  • Inserting PDF files into iPhoto

    I am trying to insert separator pages for my slideshow using the article in MacWorld. All is fine til I get to the point where I need to insert the pdf into my slideshow. Below is the error I receive:
    Unreadable files: 1
    The following file could not be imported. (This file is in an unrecognized format.)
    Here is what I have done so far in regs to troubleshooting.
    Removed my iPhoto library from my shared directory to my original Pictures directory & did the batchmod that someone recommended elsewhere to make sure all my iPhoto files/dir have the correct permissions/owners.
    Deleted all references to adobe reader on my mac & reinstalled the latest & greatest (7.0.8)
    Recreated the pdf files (from the pics) after I reinstalled reader 7.0.8.
    Ran disk utils to make sure permissions were correct on my system.
    Where else do I look to see what the file formats are besides Get Info? Dh says I should resintall iPhoto, but the updates take forever even with a dsl (but then it could have something to do with my 1500 pics too
    Something is missing between Adobe & iPhoto or even OS X but I can not seem to figure it out.
    I am currently running OS X 10.3.9 (Panther), iLife 6-iPhoto version 6.0.5 (316)
    Thanks in advance for any & all help.

    Thanks, OT for getting back on this. I was hoping you'd respond I've been reading all the posts you've had on this subject & knew you were a resident expert.
    I had seen before that the pdf's could not be imported but I was hoping that iLife 6 now took care of that problem & according to the below linked article it appeared to.
    http://www.macworld.com/2006/12/secrets/jandigitalphoto/index.php
    Is the article incorrect that this version of iLife does not support it as the article seems to imply?
    In regs to your suggestion, I had already done exactly as you suggested sometime yesterday & the quality of the jpeg that was done as a 'save as' from preview was horrible.
    I am now in the midst of using iDVD to make my slide show. Unfortunately, the process is slower than iPhoto & I'm not remembering what I've already edited, sorted, etc etc since I've been working on this for at least 2 days now & am now doing it a 2nd time.
    I've read your posts about you saying you only use iDVD for SS & thought I'd try it. I am having a problem about the refresh rate on our video & the speed with which it is working on our mac but I don't know if that is due to the number of photos on iDVD, the fact that I am still on OS X 10.3.9 & iLife 6 is supposed to work better on Tiger, my learning curve since I've never used it or what.
    Anyways, I'll be up bright & early tomorrow working on it hoping I can get it complete & shipped out to famiy members late afternoon or evening.
    Take care & thanks,

  • Insert pdf into pages

    Hey,
    I was just wondering whether is was possible to insert PDF's into a Pages document. In my case I have a Project document and I want to include weekly reports which are stored as PDF's.
    If I do: Insert > Choose > ...(*) I only seem to be inserting the first page of the PDF
    It might be that it's not possible, but it wouldn't seem an unreasonable feature for Pages.
    *(may be called slightly different, im using a Dutch language version of Pages '09)

    It allow us to select a rectangular area like the one which is drawn in my late screenshot.
    Here you may see the menu "Tools" which offer the menu items whose shortcuts are cmd 1, cmd 2, cmd 3.
    As I already wrote, cmd 3 allow us to select a rectangular area.
    If you trigger cmd 2 you may trigger text as you may see below.
    At least on my machine, Preview defaults to the mode activated by cmd 2.
