Now that you have the basic idea let’s get started.

I know this isn’t the most sophisticated solution, but this is the only one at writing. Now when a user clicks on the image, it’ll redirect the user to the PDF file. Next, we’ll use this link and embed it into an image we’ll use as a cover.

Use any service you like, be it Google Drive, OneDrive, or any other online service for that matter as long as it serves the purpose. We need the PDF you want to insert available publicly on the Internet. Insert a PDF into Google Docsįirst, let me give you an idea of what exactly we are going to do here. All original vector and text information will be lost.Since there is no direct way to insert PDFs to Docs directly within the Google Docs, here’s a workable workaround. Photoshop cannot 'edit' PDFs when 'opening', you are actually converting the entire PDF to a large bitmap image. Note that (contrary to what you seem to think, based on your title) you cannot "add" an image to an existing PDF with Photoshop (with a single exception: if that PDF was originally created with Photoshop). If you want to paste in a color image, first convert the destination image to an appropriate color space such as RGB. You don't mention it, but I am guessing your PDF is opened in grayscale. The pasted part automatically gets converted to the destination color space. The image of my card is automatically greyscaled. As you found out, yours is not one of them, as you want to paste and then manipulate the pasted object. This can be useful, but only for very specific operations. You don't need to 'mark' or otherwise define a destination rectangle. That creates a separate layer for the pasted object, and you can use the regular tools to move, size, and rotate it.
