How to Insert an Image in Acrobat 9
Adobe Acrobat 9, as well as previous versions, does not have built-in functionality for inserting images. It is frequently used to create and send non-editable documents and not for document creation. Therefore, inserting an image into a PDF in Acrobat 9 requires a process beyond simply drag-and-drop or easy insertion. Adobe Acrobat 9 uses the Stamp tool as a way to insert images into PDFs. Creating custom stamps will let you insert any images you want in Acrobat 9.
