Display Issues with 24-bit Images in PDFs after Latest Acrobat Reader Update

When opening a PDF with the latest version of Acrobat Reader (2025.001.20630),

I encounter display issues with images inside the PDF.
(This problem occurs only with 24-bit images; 8-bit, 4-bit, and 1-bit images are not affected.)

Could this issue be related to a bug introduced in the recent update?
Is there any configuration or workaround that could resolve this problem?

We have had what looks like the same issue in our workplace and its taken up my whole day dealing with it! In the end we have found uninstalling and reinstalling adobe acrobat resolves it

Hi @匠佐76143669,

Hope you are doing well. Sorry for your experience with viewing files in Acrobat.

We would like to investigate more on this. Would you mind sharing a few more pieces of information for further investigation?

1. The device OS and its version;

2. Do you see this with every file where there are 24-bit images, or specific to such comparison files?

3. Can you share a sample file with us to try and reproduce the issue in-house?

While you share the information, please check if the checkboxes in Menu > Preferences > Page Display are checked (screenshot shared below for reference):

Let us know how it goes.

Regards,
Souvik.

Thank you for your support. Please find my additional information below:

I am viewing the PDF on Windows 11.

1.From our investigation, the issue occurs mostly with the 32-bit version of Acrobat.
(It also occurs in some cases with the 64-bit version.)

2.It is safe to say that this happens with all 24-bit images.
(However, we confirmed that in some cases it does not occur with the 64-bit version of Acrobat.)

3.I am providing a sample PDF file (image.pdf).

Also, all Rendering settings are turned ON. (Turning them OFF did not change the result.)
