Hello,
the only way I found to insert an image to a document is by copy and paste. Two reasons why I think it should be possible to add it by file dialog:
It is not handy to open an image viewer first, copy the image to clipboard and then insert into PDF
On Linux copy and paste of images through clipboard seems not to work with PDF Xchange editor. With a file dialog it would work
Thanks

Sorry, I mixed up the editor with the viewer. I thought I have the editor when I apply the registration code to the viewer.
Thanks

I tested this now, but with this option it is only possible to insert an image as a page. I found no way to insert an image as an image on an existing page. Also this workaround seems not to work: 1. Insert image as page 2. Move image to desired page 3. delete empty page. This does not work, because it is not possible to move the image to another page (or i found no way to do so)

Hello t.yellow.eyes,
Yes moving content between pages is not yet possible.
You might want to try to open your image in e.g. MS Paint, select all of it's pixels (Ctlr-A), and then Paste it in the Editor.
It will paste as stamp on the current page. You can then resize it and even move it to another page if needed.
Regards,
Stefan

It is possible to import an image as a stamp, then add it to as many pages as you want.

Thanks for this workaround Bhikkhu! It is really not straight forward, but at all I am able to get an image into the pdf.
