Attachment paste in image

Post by MedBooster »

When I try and paste in an image (or drag and drop it into pdf-xce 364) instead of becoming an element/"stamp", it just opens the attachment pane and shows it there, nowhere to be seen visually in the PDF itself.

This didn't use to be the case, maybe I accidentally tweaked some setting? Images used to be pasted in just fine

edit: seems to be a bit random when it happens, when pasting something from Whatsapp for example this happens, while when pasting something from DuckDuckGo's (search engine) image section it seems to work fine...

Hello, MedBooster

There are a few different ways that the Editor can paste information, and the default varies based on what exists in the clipboard. If you find that a paste is not using the correct default, you can right click and you should see advanced paste options below. only one of the options should result in the image being applied to the attachments pane (this option is also uncommon, so it may not always appear).

Kind regards,
