How do I replace a picture in my PDF with a new one?

What is the difference between cropping an image and resizing an image?

Action What it does Effect on content. Cropping Removes parts of the image from the edges. Changes the visible area of the image. Resizing Changes the overall width and height of the image. Keeps all content, but makes it larger or smaller.

If my scanned document has images that are sideways, how can I fix them?

First, open your scanned document in Acrobat and click 'Edit'. Click on the sideways image to select it. Look for the rotation handles around the image or right-click and choose 'Rotate'. Turn the image until it is in the correct upright position. This will fix the orientation in your document.

about this task

Choose the 'Replace Image' option and select your new picture file from your computer.
Acrobat will automatically place the new image in the same spot.

Images can look blurry after resizing if you make a small image much larger. This is because the image has a fixed number of pixels, and stretching it too much makes those pixels visible. To avoid blurriness, try to use images that are already large enough for your needs, or use an external editor like Photoshop for more precise resizing that can sometimes improve quality.

Round-tripping means you send an image from Acrobat to another program, like Photoshop, for more detailed editing. You make your changes in Photoshop, save them, and then the updated image automatically appears back in your PDF in Acrobat. This is useful for pixel-level edits, color correction, or applying special effects that Acrobat's basic tools do not offer.
