How to Insert an Image in Acrobat

Developed by Adobe Systems, Acrobat allows users to make edits to files created in the Portable Document Format (PDF). Its point-and-click interface lets users alter page layout, add comments, create form fields, edit text and apply security policies. Acrobat also supports the insertion of external images into PDF files. Although the command to do so is not clearly labeled, once you know where to look, adding an image to your PDF document is a quick task.

Instructions

1. Open your PDF document in Adobe Acrobat.

2. Click "Tools" in the top menu bar, select "Advanced Editing" and choose the "TouchUp Object Tool" option.

3. Scroll to the section of the page where you want to insert an image.

4. Right-click and select "Place Image."

5. Locate your image file in the resulting dialog box. Double-click its icon to insert the image into your PDF document.
