"There was an error while reading a stream." -- only Adobe; other PDF readers have no trouble
When certain JPG images are used with the third-party library ABCpdf to create PDFs, the resulting PDF is readable in every non-Adobe PDF consumer. But Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader, Illustrator DC, and perhaps other Adobe products report "There was an error while reading a stream."
As I stated, every non-Adobe PDF consumer can read these PDFs without issue: Chrome, Edge, Nitro PDF, xpdf, Ghostscript to name a few.
This is somewhat similar to the previous bug from 2015 Re: Why I'm getting "A drawing error occurred." when I try to create a PDF? that was reported by another former member of my team; the error message is now different, and unlike the previous one which could be triggered from Create From File within Acrobat itself, this one only happens when PDFs are created with this library and then loaded in Acrobat.
This shared folder contains three images that do this; one PDF that shows the error; and one PDF made using Create From File that does not show the error.
