Clip and Insert Images Into PDFs
Quickly and easily insert images into PDFs
I have several shortcuts on my task bar along the bottom of my computer screen so that I can easily access them without having to reduce a bunch of windows in order to see my desktop, and without having to search for programs in the Windows search field. Shortcuts to all my major programs are on the taskbar, as well as some handy programs I use all day, every day:
Microsoft Notepad - mostly for writing and editing scripts.
The Windows Snipping Tool - for taking a screenshot by dragging the cursor over a specific area of the screen.
Windows Snipping Tool Microsoft Paint - Mostly for marking up screenshots with arrows, circles, etc. (the image at the top of this post was created using the Snipping Tool to grab a screenshot, then mark it up using Paint).
Converting Screenshots Into Stamps
After you have your screenshot in the clipboard, activate the stamp menu and select (near the bottom of the menu) Paste Clipboard Image as Stamp Tool, then stamp the page. You can now select the stamp, resize it, reposition it, and even rotate it. Chances are you’ll have to resize it smaller because it seems to stamp a lot larger than original screenshot for some reason. This can be accomplished by selecting the stamp and dragging a corner inward (or outward to increase size). 22-second video:
