David, I have Acrobat Pro 9, so importing a .png file (directly from Photoshop) works. No background. Have you tried importing it from Photoshop as a saved .png file?
Thank you very much!
Doesn't seem to work.
Great job
It was sooo helpful. Thank you so much for that !!!
What if I don't have Word?
Everyone probably knows this by now, but just in case… Stamp is the process. Create a stamp > Insert PNG > Load new Stamp. Keeps the transparent background for your signature.
Thankful for this
Overly complicated "work around." Much simpler: Tool > Advanced Editing > TouchUp Object Tool — Opposite Click over page > Place Image. Select a file image of the signature (transparent PNG). Scale to fit. Done!
Thanks bro
thanks a ton….
I couldn't get this to work–ctrl V did not result in placing the image, and I tried many times. Any ideas?
This is so helpful!!! Thankss it worked
Thanks but Hey the PDF file is opened where?
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. I love videos like yours.. No Fuss, simple straight to the point and not dragging it out for long time just to get air time. Thank you !!!
Nice job! Although, redrawing the signature line in Acrobat afterwards would finish the look in this case.
Thanks and what i did was go into a photo editor and removed the background on the png for a cleaner look when placing signature
Thank you so much. It's help me out.
Thank you Boss
Hi David, that process is great but while printing that .pdf file the signature won´t print. I use Adobe Acrobat. Any help on this? Thank you
u saved my life today.thnx
Thank you so much!
A workaround for the reader (if it no longer works, I apologize.)
Copy the image you want to paste to clipboard (right-click "copy image" on internet or use Microsoft "snipping tool" – "edit" – "copy")
Open the "comment" toolbar in Adobe Reader and select the "add stamp" tool. Select the last item titled "Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool
Thank you!!!!
WOW still working in 2020 thanks mate
THANK YOU!
Thanks for this. Its an issue I have struggled with for years. This is a time saver.
I used Snagit Editor to save the signatures as PNG files, then change the white to transparent background within Snagit Editor. You can use other drawing editors as well. Then I used the Stamp feature to save the signature PNG files in Adobe Acrobat 9. This way you can insert the signatures or initials as a rubber stamp in any PDF document. Interactive PDF files need to be printed as another PDF file to use the Stamp feature.
Thank You David…. I watched many videos to fix it but most of the videos are suggesting software only which are asking subscription fees…. You saved Me…. Thank you so much again
Wonderful, thank a million
Thank you David
Fabulous! This worked like a charm! Thank you.
As an earlier comment from "Hirnilein0815" stated, go to TOOLS/ADV. EDIT./TOUCHUP OBJECT TOOL/ Right Click on page & choose PLACE IMAGE, then select file type at bottom (PNG will be see-thru if prepared correctly), select file, then OPEN. You can resize or rotate using a right click when object is selected. YEAH!!!
Thanks for sharing
Omg thanks man broke my head for this finally pasted that photo
Phew
Thanks you.
I'm trying to do this with Adobe 7 and Word 2007. When I paste the image, it crashes Adobe with a Runtime Error. Is there a work around for that? Thanks in advance.
Thanks David! I'm working with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and Microsoft Word 2010. Using your method, pasting a PNG retained the "no background" feature. However, the quality wasn't great. Thanks again for your video! Videos like yours are a big part of what makes the internet really helpful!
