Practical use cases
- Adding a company logo to the first page of a report before sending it.
- Placing a scanned stamp or seal on a document.
- Putting a small picture, such as a product photo, next to existing text.
What it does — and doesn’t — change
The image is drawn on top of the page content; it does not edit the existing text or images. It is not a signature tool (use Sign PDF for that), and one image is placed per run.
Common problems
- Nothing happens when you click Add Image: you need to choose an image first — the tool shows “Choose an image first.” if none is selected.
- The PDF got much bigger: the image is embedded at its original resolution, so a very large picture adds weight. Use a smaller image or reduce it first.
- A transparent PNG looks different on screen: transparent areas stay transparent, so the page shows through them.
