PLACING IMAGES ON TOP OF STAMPS

Is anyone aware how to place an image on top of a user stamp inserted into a PDF document (using Acrobat 9 Pro)?  It seems that images are by default place behind stamps regardless of the order in which they are placed into the PDF document.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, when I add the stamp to the orginal PDF file, they are both on a single layer.  When I try to use any layers function , such as flatten layers, they are not available (greyed). The only option which is available is import as layer, which doesn't work for image files.
I decided that perhaps the simple solution would be to create a separate stamp for the image each time and then insert.

  • Placing images on top of each other

    "I have a png file that is a gradient. I have inserted this
    file into Dreamweaver to use as my background.
    I now want to put some other image files that will go "on
    top" of this gradient image. I cant figure out how to make the new
    images I insert stay on top of the gradient.

    insert it as the background in your CSS. If it goes in the
    wrapper, use
    this:
    #wrapper {
    width: 770px;
    background-image: url(../images/gradientbg.png);
    more rules
    then you can insert your image on top of what is now a
    background.

    Hi osgood.
    In the header i would have a background image of some sort. now you are going to tell me,why dont I place the logo on the banner
    No I was making sure there is no text in the header first.
    You can use an absolutely positioned <div>
    #header {
    position: relative;
    height: 220px; /*change height to the height of your bg image */
    #logo {
    position: absolute;
    top: 10px;
    left: 30px;
    height: 200px; /*change height to the height of your logo image */
    width: 200px; /*change width to the width of your bg image */
    Then just add the 'logo' <div> inside the 'header' <div> like below:
    <div id="header">
    <div id="logo">Logo goes here</div>
    </div><!-- end header -->

  • Placing image on top of my canvas

    if the image is larger or smaller than my canvas how to i import it into Photoshop to cover exactly the area of the canvas without going outside of canvas...
    I know i can do this by importing image/place and then use free transform to make it same size as canvas....How to do this without using free transform?

    You can either use the "Place" command from the main menu, under "File", or you can just open it, select the move tool "V", the click in the image and drag it to the other file's tab.

  • Problem placing buttons on top of a background image

    My knowledge of Java isn't the greatest and I am currently having problems placing buttons on top of a background image within a JApplet (this is also my first encounter with Applets).
    I'm using a Card Layout in order to display a series of different screens upon request.
    The first card is used as a Splash Screen which is displayed for 5 seconds before changing to the Main Menu card.

    1) When posting here, please use fewer comments. The comments that you have don't help folks who know Java read and understand your program and in fact hinder this ability, which makes it less likely that someone will in fact read your code and help you -- something you definitely don't want to have happen! Instead, strive to make your variable and method names as logical and self-commenting as possible, and use comments judiciously and a bit more sparingly.
    2) Try to use more methods and even classes to "divide and conquer".
    3) To create a panel with a background image that can hold buttons and such, you should create an object that overrides JPanel and has a paintComponent override method within it that draws your image using the graphics object's drawImage(...) method
    For instance:
    an image jpanel:
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.net.URISyntaxException;
    import java.net.URL;
    import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
    import javax.swing.JButton;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    public class BackgroundImage
        // **** this will have to be changed for your program:
        private static final String IMAGE_PATH = "../../m02/a/images/Forest.jpg";
        private BufferedImage myImage = null;
        private JPanel imagePanel = new JPanel()
            @Override
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
            {   // *** here is where I draw my image
                super.paintComponent(g);  // **** don't forget this!
                if (myImage != null)
                    g.drawImage(myImage, 0, 0, this);
        public BackgroundImage()
            imagePanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 450));
            imagePanel.add(new JButton("Foobars Rule!"));
            try
                myImage = createImage(IMAGE_PATH);
            catch (IOException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
            catch (URISyntaxException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
        private BufferedImage createImage(String path) throws IOException,
                URISyntaxException
            URL imageURL = getClass().getResource(path);
            if (imageURL != null)
                return ImageIO.read(new File(imageURL.toURI()));
            else
                return null;
        public JPanel getImagePanel()
            return imagePanel;
    }and an applet that uses it:
    import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
    import javax.swing.JApplet;
    import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
    public class BackgrndImageApplet extends JApplet
        @Override
        public void init()
            try
                SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
                    @Override
                    public void run()
                        getContentPane().add(new BackgroundImage().getImagePanel());
            catch (InterruptedException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
            catch (InvocationTargetException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
    }

  • Placing an image on top of existing image

    I seem to have a lot of trouble with placing an image on top of an existing image and then wanting it to stay relative to the original. As in... I want to put a button on an image of a map. Then later.. will make a hotspot on that area to open another window.
    My trouble is with placing the button and then having it stay relative to the map no matter how the browser window moves or is sized.  What is the prefered method using DW CS4?  Can you point to a tutorial on how to do this...
    Thanks for your time
    Ralph

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    But, placing one image on top of another in a web page must be a task that happens all the time.. I just have not found a straight forward way to do it yet.
    It's really not common.
    It can be done via layering (what Dreamweaver calls APDivs) but you may still get layout issues with browser resizing.

  • Placing an image on top of a flash file

    Is there a way to keep a image on top of a flash file? When I
    place it on top then publish the flash file jumps in front of the
    pic when it plays.
    What I am trying to do is place a border around the window. I
    can't just shrink the flash file down because this great program
    causes errors with the flash content.

    There is no way to keep an image on top of a Flash file.
    Having said that, we do a couple things to get around that:
    1: add the border to the flash file-- when we're creating
    swfs for Breeze in Captivate or Flash itself, we add the highlight
    or border there
    2: Add the border to a file that rests behind the flash file
    and make the flash file fit
    It sounds as if you've tried the second, but with no success.
    I 've never had a problem resizing swfs that I've imported into ppt
    through Breeze Presenter. I sthat the issue you're having?

  • Placing an image on top of other elements

    Is it possible to place an image on top of two existing
    that already contains an images. The new image would straddle over the two existingbut on top of them. Thanks

    I thought about combining all the <div>s but they would not make a square or rectagle shape. Also inside the header <div> I want to place some tabs for navigation.
    I have attached a jpeg of the comp and you can see the image I want to place on top is the image showing 2 white tanks. The <div>s will be the blue header at the top ofthe page and tthe <div> with the water drop graphic inside. I was not sure if it was possible to put this tank image on top of the other two <div>s, I was thinking maybe it could be a layer on top?
    The other thing I am trying to do is to put the four navigation tabs at the bottom of the header <div> for navigation purposes. I was thinking of making each tab a <div> with the tab graphic and text inside each <div> I just not sure how to place it in the header <div> in that location? Thanks again.

  • Image on top of text box issue

    I'm attempting to create my own message window that will appear when a text box is full.  I have script in the "full" section of the text box that makes the presence of the image and a few text boxes visible when full.  In design view, I have placed the image on top of the text box.  However, during testing, when the text box is full, the image appears but the text from the text box below also appears on top of the image.  I have tried to setFocus to the image as well, but this didn't help.
    What's odd is that if I navigate to a different page and then navigate back, the image appears correctly.
    Any ideas?  Thanks.

    Thank you very much. I didn't even know how to look up the solution.
    Now I understand what those buttons do and their usefulness.

  • SCRIPT TO IMPORT MULTIPLE PLACED IMAGES..AND OUTPUT MULTIPLE IMAGES TO SINGLE PDF.

    Anyone got a script to import multiple placed images into CS4? or is this possible in CS5?
    and can we output multiple layers into a single PDF in illustrator?  Or multiple layers into single JPEGS from illustrator with one command instead of individually saving out each page... would be a huge time saver for me.
    Currently I output each completed layer individually and then right click those outputted jpegs in their output folder and choose "combine supported files into acrobat..." to make a single acrobat file..
    I`d also like to be able to CTRL click multiple layers and go save as... only those layers get saved out...
    And so adding something in the Save for PDF output dialogue box to save layers to multiple pages would be a helpful time saver..

    In CS 4 and CS 5 you can drag and drop fro m the finder or the Bridge, and I guess any other similar type viewer, multiple number of image files to a document. You can configure the bridge in such a way as to allow you to see the Bridge and your document at the same time for this very purpose.
    If you just drag and drop the files are linked if you drag while holding the shift key then the files will be embedded.
    ID and PS CS 5 have a minibridge which works the sam way but is an actually panel and will stay in the front.
    I separate the images but they import one on top of another.

  • How do I align a placed image in a frame using JS?

    I am new both to javascript and to scripting for InDesign, so please bear with me on this question.
    I am trying to align an image in a graphic frame so it aligns to the top right corner of the frame.
    I can do this using the InDesign interface by following these steps:
    1. Create a rectangular frame.
    2. Right-clicking the frame and selecting "Fitting > Frame Fitting Options."
    3. Selecting the top-right square in the "Alignment" area of the Frame Fitting Options dialogue.
    For me, this automatically aligns the image to the top right corner in the selected text frame, even if there is a placed item in the frame.
    I am trying to apply this to the actual image frame using the following code where "modelFrame" is the rectangle that is the parent of the placed image:
              modelFrame.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment.anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.TOP_RIGHT_ANCHOR;
    I am not getting an error, but I am also not getting the desired results (in fact, it doesn't change anythign at all). What am I doing wrong?

    Hi lanejd,
    I have got the same issue as you but had just found the solution. Please see below:
    modelFrame.frameFittingOptions.fittingAlignment.anchorPoint = AnchorPoint.TOP_RIGHT_ANCHOR;
    This will only set the properties for the Frame Fitting Options. You will need to call a method/function. Add the below line to your script and it will execute the Frame fitting Options.
    modelFrame.fit(FitOptions.applyFrameFittingOptions);
    Hope this help!

  • Add Strokes to Placed Images in Illustrator

    Hi All,
    I'm having a problem to add a stroke "frame" around my tiff image in Illustrator. My image is a "traced picture" from Photoshop. I used the following technique:-
    Technique: Use an Effect
    Choose File > Place and select an image to place into Illustrator document.
    Choose File > Place and select an image to place into Illustrator document.
    The image is selected. Open Appearance panel and from the Appearance panel flyout menu, choose Add New Stroke.
    With the Stroke highlighted in the Appearance panel, choose Effect > Path > Outline Object.
    However, the result I got was the stroke around the image NOT the frame around the image.
    How do I  achieve it. Any help and tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Technique #1: Use a Mask
    This technique requires Illustrator CS3 and works only when your keyline will be rectangular in shape.
    Choose File > Place and choose an image to place into your Illustrator document. You can either Link or Embed the image. Once you've chosen the image, click the Place button.
    The image is selected (if your image already exists in your document, select it now), so if you look in your Control panel at the top of the screen, you'll see a button labeled "MASK". Click on it. This creates a mask at the exact bounds of the image.
    Press the "D" key for Default. This gives the mask a black 1 pt stroke attribute. Adjust the stroke per your design needs.
    NOTE: An additional benefit to this method of using a mask is that you now have the elements in place to simulate a "frame and image" paradigm like InDesign. Once you've created your mask, you can decide to "crop" your image by double clicking anywhere on the photo. This will put you into Isolation Mode. Now click on the frame edge and resize at will. When you're done, double click outside the image to exit isolation mode and continue working. This method works wonderfully when you're using the Selection tool (black arrow) and have the Bounding Box option turned on (in the View menu).
    Technique #2: Use an Effect
    At first, it may seem that applying a keyline with the use of an Effect is a tedious process. But we all know that once we've applied an effect, we can store it as a Graphic Style, at which point applying our keyline will become a single click. Go ahead, ask me why Adobe doesn't ship Illustrator with such an effect as a default setting in the NDPs (New Document Profiles). Go ahead, ask me why Adobe doesn't allow us to assign keyboard shortcuts to styles like InDesign does. I don't have answers to either of those questions (sorry). But let's get on with the styles, shall we?
    There are two separate effects that we can use, and each provides a different benefit.
    Choose File > Place and select an image to place into your Illustrator document. You can either Link or Embed the image. Once you've chosen the image, click the Place button.
    The image is selected (or if your image already exists in your document, select it). Open your Appearance panel and from the Appearance panel flyout menu, choose Add New Stroke. We can't see the stroke yet, because all we have is an image. But we'll change that in short order.
    With the Stroke highlighted in the Appearance panel, choose Effect > Convert to Shape > Rectangle. Check the Preview button, select the Relative option, and set both the Extra Width and Extra Height to zero (0). (Be careful not to press Tab after you enter the second value, or it will switch back to Absolute.) Click OK to apply the effect. Style the stroke attribute to match your design preference.
    Now make this easier to apply in the future. With the object still selected, open the Graphic Styles panel and click the New Graphic Style button at the bottom of the panel. Give the style an appropriate name. If you then add this style to your NDPs, it will be readily available in all new files that you create.

  • Create Pattern Swatch from Placed Image in Javascript

    I need to create a large number of pattern swatches from some .jpg file on disk. I've figured out how to script the insertion of the .jpgs into my AI document as placed images:
         // Embed the image into the document.
         file = new File("MyImage.jpg");
         var document = app.activeDocument;
         var newPlaced = document.layers["swatches"].groupItems.createFromFile(file);
         newPlaced.name = "MyImage_Placed";
    This works fine and the item shows up in the correct layer as an embedded image.
    Now I want to create a PatternSwatch (I think) from that Image.
    To create a new swatch the code starts out as:
         newSwatch = document.swatches.add();
         newSwatch.name = "MyImage_Swatch";
    but now I'm stuck! How do I associate the new PlacedItem with the swatch I just created? I can see the swatch in the palette so I'm partway there.

    When you say you would drag the image itself into the Swatch Palette and it would show the image itself? How would then use this swatch? Can you give an example of what you would apply a jpeg to as a swatch? The only palette that I can think of off the top of my head that you can drag a jpeg into and have the icon appear as the jpeg is the Symbols Palette. Is is possible that you were using the Symbols Palette in the past and not the Swatch Palette?

  • What's best: placing images in Photoshop or InDesign?

    Hi guys
    Since I hear different things about creating for example posters etc. is this my question: What do you think is best to do when designing a poster or flyer (or whatever) with a nice background, bursh effects, pictures and text?
    I do it like this right now:
    Create the background in Photoshop
    place the background.psd in InDesign
    add the adjusted images of the artists etc. in InDesign
    add text in InDesign
    Save as PDF
    Some say creating the whole poster or design in Photoshop (even cutting out the pictures of the artists and rasterizing them) is better than placing each of them separately in InDesign?
    Anyone who has a good website or explanation for me to answer my question? Tips and tricks are welcome!
    Thanks!

    If the background is the same behind all images then you better do it in Photoshop because the file size of the background itself  when flatten will be similar with or without all images added on top of it. Other reasons that you may choose to do it as separate images is if you want the different images with different resolutions, for example if the background is some blurry clouds or some abstract gradients you don't really need to be very high resolution and if the images on top have some fine details you may decide to have them with higher resolution. The other consideration is if you want more flexibility with the composition in inDesign in case of eventual changes. So, it all depends on different things. The text you should do in inDesign.
