ImagePlacer
Place and precisely position images on PDF pages as overlays or watermarks. Full control over position, scale, rotation, transparency, and blend modes.
Overview
ImagePlacer is an Adobe Acrobat plugin that lets you place and precisely position images on the pages of an open PDF document. Images can be applied as an overlay on top of existing page content or as a watermark behind it, with full control over position, scale, rotation, and transparency.
Whether you need to add logos, stamps, watermarks, or other images to your PDF documents, ImagePlacer gives you pixel-perfect placement with a live preview that updates instantly as you adjust settings. Apply images to a single page, a page range, or all pages at once.
Key Features
Precise image placement tools for Adobe Acrobat.
Overlay & Watermark Modes
Place images on top of existing page content as overlays, or behind it as watermarks. Choose the layering that suits your needs.

Set exact X and Y positions in inches, centimetres, or millimetres. Measure from any edge of the page for pixel-perfect placement.
