Preview is a versatile tool to view and edit various types of files, including PDF. For example, by using Preview, you can add new text, lines, object shapes to a PDF file. However, it seems, at first, that images could not be directly added to PDF file(no ways from Previews' menu or toolbar icons), none be directly pasted to.
Just a shorting time searching from internet, I found a way to do that. Here is the trick to do that:
- First copy and paste an image to Preview by Ctrl+N as a new image file;
- then select all or part of image and make a copy (Ctrl+C).
- Paste the selection by Ctrl+V.
- Select all again (Ctrl+A), and
- cut the selection(Ctrl+X). This new copy will be as an object instead of image.
- The last step is to paste the object to your PDF file in Preview by Ctrl+V!
