Adobe Reader 8

Paste images as comments

Commenting tools are available only in PDFs that have commenting enabled. PDFs in a review workflow typically include commenting rights.

You can use the Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp tool to add images to a PDF. You can copy most image formats from drawing and image-editing applications, such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. If you want to add the image to PDFs repeatedly, create a custom stamp of the image.

Note: The Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp tool isn’t available until you copy an image.
  1. Copy an image by doing one of the following:

    • In Reader, choose Tools > Select & Zoom > Snapshot Tool , and select an image from a PDF. 

    • In another application, select an image and choose Edit > Copy.

  2. Open a PDF.
  3. Choose Tools > Comment & Markup > Stamps > Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp Tool.
  4. Click in the PDF where you want the image to appear.
  5. Do any of the following:

    • To move the image, drag it.

    • To resize the image, select it and then drag one of its handles. Press the Shift key when resizing the image to maintain the original proportions. 

    • To change the image properties, right-click/Control-click it and choose Properties.

    • To delete the image, right-click/Control-click it and choose Delete.
