After adding the PDF Editing feature, Mozilla is now working on making it fully functional. Firefox now supports inserting images into a PDF file. The company is targeting this feature for Firefox 117.
Most web browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge, come with a built-in PDF Viewer to view PDFs. However, the PDF Viewer is not a full PDF Editor, so you need to rely on third-party PDF tools available online.
Mozilla continues to improve Firefox’s built-in PDF Viewer, PDF.js. The improvements it adds can be small or significant. Recently, we reported Firefox has received the ability to write text and make annotations in PDFs. The company is now working on importing images as signatures into a PDF.
Here’s how to add an image to a PDF on Firefox
- Launch Firefox
- Open a PDF file by dragging and dropping it from your device or web
- On the toolbar, click on the “Add an image” option (Picture icon) that appears next to the Save icon
- Try to draw in the empty area where you want to add a picture with the cursor. When a square appears with a spinning circle inside with dialog to select the file, navigate to the image location and add it.
- Resize the image and save changes to the document.
- In this way, you can add multiple images to a PDF.
You can able to control the feature by changing “pdfjs.enableStampEditor” pref in configuration Editor.
