if pva is not working can suggest the following:
3m craft mount - allows for repositioing;
3m spray mount - allows for repositioning
3m display - permanent adhesive. does NOT allow for repositioning.

hope the above is useful.

Thanks for your suggestions, as the photo paper will have some form of printed picture on it will the sprays you mention be ok? If so do you recommend putting the adhesive on the canvas first or the back of the photo?
the adhesive (whichever you choose) should not have any effect on the photo. However, apart from the pva i would advise using them either outdoors or with windows open. i spray the paper and then stick onto the canvas. make sure you have the canvas marked in some way to show exactly where you want to put the paper as the best one does not reposition. the others do not move after a fairly short while and of course if moved leave the canvas marked with adhesive.

you can get these sprays from any good arts supplier.

good luck.
