Hi All,
I would like to know hoe to insert an image into a pdf in preview.
Thank you in advance for any opinion !
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
how do you insert and image using the signature tool?
how do you insert and image using the signature tool?
you could set it in as a signature I did that earlier today
As a separate page or in an existing page? If it's as a separate page open the pdf and image in Preview. Drag the thumbnila of the image from it's open window into the open window of the PDF. Have the Preview option activated in both windows.
Save the PDF file with the added photo and it's done.
If you want to insert the photo into an existing page in the PDF document you'll have to get another application, Adobe Acrobat or some 3rd party pdf editor.

@Rudegar,
Thank you for your advice. No i want to add am image to an existing pdf. so it has to be a clear image.
Thank you
Or you could drag the PDF straight into a blank Pages Doc and then you can add images, text and squiggly arrows to your heart's content. Export it all back to a PDF when you're done.
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.
I have been using the 1 of the 2 copies of Adobe Acrobat Pro in our office for over a year because of the inability to "insert an image into a pdf in preview" ... I was at wit's end yesterday when I searched the Internet again and found your post at the bottom of a thread ... I did what you said, google FormulatePro and installation and figuring it out took under 5 minutes. No more need to be tied to a legal expensive Adobe Acrobat Professional or be forced to do what everyone else says about converting your PDF into an image. Everyone, listen to Skeptical Nerd.
I found this post because I had to get the same kind of task done. I found that Gimp was a nice solution: just open the two pdf files (or the pdf file and the image file) with it and you'll be able to copy/paste/move/scale (and so on...) any part of one of them into the other!
@Old Toad,
Thank you for your advice. I want to add an image to an existing PDF. I mean for a single page PDF document need add an image (logo)
To insert an image in Mac Preview:
Hope that solved your problem :-)

I just did it using a Thanksgiving turkey image as my signature for a Thanksgiving song I wrote - go to Fill and Sign - Place signature - Use Image - Browse - then bring up image you want to use -- should be a PDF also and after placing it you can size it and move it around before saving the doc. Hope this helps...
Google FormulatePro. It's a great free Mac app that allows you to add images and annotate to pdf's.
It works great.
@ Old Toad Thanks a lot !
The way i did this today was to save my image as a pdf. Then import the image pdf into the pdf i was working on by clicking Edit - Insert - Page from file.
use the signature feature of Preview
