What you need
Steps
Download and install PDFgear for Windows from the official site, then launch the app.
Open your PDF in PDFgear by dragging the file into the window or using the open file option.
Go to the Edit tab in the toolbar to switch the document into editing mode.
Click Add Image, then browse your device and select the JPG, JPEG or PNG you want to insert.
Drag the image to the spot on the page where it should sit.
Resize the image by pulling its corner handles, and move it again if the placement is off.
Save the updated file, or use Save As to keep the original PDF unchanged.
Tips and common mistakes
Use a PNG for logos and signatures so the background stays transparent.
Save a copy under a new name so you still have the untouched original PDF.
Keep the image resolution high enough that it stays sharp when printed.
Questions

Does this work on Mac?
The Windows desktop app. Check the PDFgear site for a Mac version before you start.
Will the image stay editable later?
