It seems like the background is transparent how ever if i open the item in another program like word it does not have a transparent background. What am I doing wrong ? Do I need to save it in a different format ? Thank you

1) Open in Photoshop and remove background manually.

2) Save the file as png with transparent bg.

3) Open the png with Acrobat Pro and save as pdf.

This "pdf" can be inserted in any other picture or other file and will appear without bg.

JPG does not support transparency.  You need to save your file as a PNG file.  (PNG-24 if you're using Save For Web.)  TIF files are much larger, but support transparency also.
