Add an image as front page to a PDF and keep text searchable

[helg1002]

Hello the topic is this. I have word document (approximately 140 pages) and I want to convert it to pdf (that's not a problem) but then I need to add front page as image.
The problem is this: I need to save feature to find text via Ctrl+F in any place of document (without added front page).
 

P.s I have tried to do it inside word, but when I save document as pdf the formating is getting crimpled

Hello,

you can do this in two steps:

1. Convert the image to a PDF with the tool "Images to PDF" in the PDF24 Toolbox.
2. Combine the image PDF and the PDF of your Word document with the tool "Merge PDF". Put the image page first.

Merging does not change the pages of your Word document, so their text stays searchable with Ctrl+F. Only the cover page is an image without text.

This also works online: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/images-to-pdf and https://tools.pdf24.org/en/merge-pdf

If the layout of the document gets broken when you save it as PDF in Word, you can also try the conversion with PDF24: https://tools.pdf24.org/en/word-to-pdf
