How to Add Image to PDF?

Part 1: About PDF

PDF, also known as Portable Document Format, is based on the PostScript language. Therefore, when printing PDF files, we can accurately control the colors and the other printing effects, in order to originally display each character, color and image of a PDF file. PDF is available in Windows, Unix and Mac OS. That has made it the ideal document format for e-document publish and digital information dissemination on the Internet. Now, PDF can be seen in e-book, product instruction, company report, online information and e-mail.
