Embedding Pictures

Embedded pictures become a permanent part of a BarTender document, so even if the original picture file is moved, deleted or renamed, the picture in your template remains the same. This is the easiest type of picture to work with.

You may not need to embed a picture if what you want is a standard complex caution, warning, or hazardous materials symbol. Most of these are available in one of the special symbol "fonts" that come with BarTender. For more information, refer to Special Symbol Fonts.

You can embed a picture using one of the following methods:
