Whether you're browsing the web, typing up a report, scrolling through social media, or doing any number of other tasks on your Mac, you might find it handy (or entertaining) to watch a video while you're typing and clicking away. In macOS Sierra, Apple took a page out of the ol' TV playbook by introducing Picture in Picture — a feature that lets you layer a persistent video atop your macOS workspace.

As it stands, Picture in Picture on macOS Sierra is available in two applications: Safari and iTunes. Apple says HTML5 video (Vimeo videos, videos on Apple's website, etc.) works out of the box, but other video players (think: Facebook, Twitter, etc.) can enable it with some added code.

This doesn't add an image to a PDF. This converts a PDF to images, edits the images, then converts the images to a PDF. Not only do you loose the ability to search text but you loose other PDF benefits like resolution independence and the possibility to edit the PDF with another application.
I hate being a grammar nazi, but you did it twice in one sentence. It's 'lose,' not 'loose.'
Umm - a waste of time converting vector graphic and ascii text to pixels. It would be better to merge two documents to one 'Real'pdf file without loosing data!!!
(sorry, misread - this comment can be removed)
No, this is not adding an image to a PDF.
Try pdftk instead. The specific option you want is stamp or multistamp.
It's command line only, and although there are GUI frontends for it, it looks like this particular feature isn't catered for; but unlike the posted hint, it will actually overlay one PDF onto another without loss of fidelity.
Use Formulate Pro (it's free) to do this and other markup on PDF's... I use it to fill out 'pdf forms' all the time...

Nice pointer. I had not seen this before.
What a great suggestion! FormulatePro does exactly what I need ... annotate existing PDFs with text, images, simple shapes and even checkmarks. It's ideal for filling out forms electronically.
Why do they publish such awful hints as this? I guess it's fine if all you're going to do is print the PDF and never use it again, but for anything else (like sending it to someone else), this is bad news all around.
There are many better ways to do this while maintaining the original PDF (texts, vectors, etc.), as some commenters have pointed out. (Acrobat Pro is, of course, another option, though significantly more expensive. :))
well, the original hint may be awful, but as you say it's lead to some helpful comments so all around I'm glad the hint was published.
Absolutely, but this kind of thing belongs in a forum. Wrong tool for the job, wouldn't you say?
It's a community-driven site. Hints Dot Macworld Dot Com needs reworking, giving more prominence to the forums, where submissions such as the above can be hammered out, and then a hint produced by the publishers to encapsulate the discussion.
PDFpen does all this and lots more without changing formats back & forth. You can remove, resize and generally fiddle with images already in the original pdf document plus add as many other images as you wish by dragging them to your desired location within the document. The format of the image you want to add is irrelevant — it can be in any format and conversion is not necessary. Takes seconds. Yes, yes, I know PDFpen costs but the charge is very reasonable given the enormous range of options included.. NB I have no connection with any manufacturer, past or present; nor do I review Apps professionally. I'm just an ordinary user. Ian ![]() Comments are closed.
