While working with Acrobat Standard 9.1.2, I have "Select & Zoom" toolbar.
I can use "Select Tool" to select an image on the screen.
Then I right click on the selection and get pop up with "Copy Image" option.

After I copy the image, I want to paste it in the same document and other documents as well. But I don't know how to paste it. I do Ctrl+V, but that does not work. The paste option under Edit menu  also remains disable.

Can somebody please help me to know how I can paste the copied image?

    All you have need to do is the simple copy & past image in the document or browse to add new image in active PDF. I have used Acrobat Pro but many other softwares have same functionality like Nitro, Classic PDF editor etc

    You may checkout the below video to know how to edit or add image in PDF:

    Hope it helps you. Thanks

    Simple answer - there is no simple answer.  You can, for example, copy and then create a new pdf from the clipboard, covert that to a jpeg, then use the TouchUp Object tool . . . .  Unfortunately, Adobe has apparently removed the image copy-paste option from v.9, as absurd as that might seem.  I spent about four hours on two calls to tech support and even after upgrading to the latest v.9.4, it's not possible in a simple manner (as it was in v.8, with, e.g., Snapshot tool, etc.).  I am told that you can copy-paste text, but I have tried that as yet.  I will probably return my recently purchased v.9 and go back to v.8 as a result of this ridiculous product downgrade.

    It is totally buried and non-intuitive in Acrobat Pro 9 but here it is:

    Tools > Comment & Markup > Stamps > Paste Clipboard Image As Stamp Tool

    The major problem with this is it does not seem to support resizing of the 'stamp' image.

    Actually you can resize etc. but if your initial image is very large, it is tricky to get access to its handles if panned off the edge of the display...

    Can you please elaborate how to reach the Button tool to paste the image in Pro.  May be I can then try and figure out how to do that in Standard.

    Thank You

    Tools>Forms>Button Tool. You then have to play around with the settings there to get it to work...
