Image Annotation

Images can be imported directly as a stamp without having to create and save the stamp. Any of the supported image formats (*png, *jpg, *jpeg, *jpe, *gif, *tif & *tiff.) can be used.

Note: When importing an image directly as a stamp the image will be converted to a JPEG and inserted as is.

Creating an Image Annotation

  1. Select the Image tool by clicking the in the Comment Tab on the toolbar or using the shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + I (⌘ + Shift + I on Mac)
  2. Use the file chooser select the image you wish to use
  3. Click on the page where you would like to add the image annotation.

To create an image stamp that can be reused instead of an "on-the-fly" stamp, create a custom image stamp.
