How to add an image field to a PDF

PDF forms are one of the most convenient formats for data collection, sharing and storage. Apart from text, you can insert images into PDF files by taking a photo with your mobile device or uploading it from the gallery.

In forms without predefined image fields, you can add an image field straight to the PDF without leaving a document you are working on. There is no need to manually add a blank page or attach an image as a file.

Let’s see what tools to use to add an image field to your PDF form.
