Paste into Preview

I have a pdf form that I need to paste my signature into. I have the signature in jpg, gif, etc. and on other pdf forms.

But it won't let me drag the jpg into place, or allow paste.

Suggestions?

mac book pro, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Hi R,

If after pasting you can not move using the arrow keys or select and move it, then you can create a new transparent image - matching final dimensions - place signature in the final position and paste this image into PDF.

Good luck.

Hi R,

I'am just guessing here as the information you provide is less then needed but after paste try select all and cut it for new paste.

Good luck.

I don't know how to make it clearer. the "Paste" command is not available. it is greyed out. Command V does not work either.

Nothing to do with "after pasting" there is no "paste" available

Hi R, I'm sorry, I did not get it right, I understood that you could not drag, just paste! :P
I can't paste into PDF also, I think it is not possible.
Open PDF, save as another kind of file, paste as you need and save as PDF again, if your PDF have more than one page you can use PNG format that has this same option.

Good luck.
