how to add my barcode to my pdf book cover?

Question

Hey Everybody,

I have a barcode that I need to add to my pdf book cover to upload to the publisher, but I don't know how to add the barcode to the cover in Adobe Acrobat. The barcode was purchased from Bowker and I have two types of files (eps, and pdf) . Can someone provide step by step instructions on how to add the eps /pdf barcode to the book cover?

Thanks,

Elizabeth

But you didn't mention that you also had the barcode as a PDF (if I understand your new description correctly).

open the barcode PDF in Acrobat
Edit | Copy File to Clipboard
open the bookcover PDF in Acrobat
Edit | Paste
move pasted barcode to the desired position
you can also alter the size using the blue corner points of the surrounding frame

It just occurred to me - you mentioned in the other thread that you can open the .eps file in Acrobat. In that case you could do the same as the above procedure:open the barcode .eps file in AcrobatEdit | Copy file to Clipboardthen do the same as described in the above post...
