I am experiencing an issue when a PDF document is left open for a prolonged period of time I get "Insufficient data for an image" error. Is there a known issue with this error occuring. I am accessing the file through a Windows 10 machine with the most up to date version of Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Hey there,

 

Thanks for reporting the concern.This issue occurred with the earlier version of Acrobat DC. With the latest version, there isn't such issue reported so far.

We'd see if its a latest patch that's causing trouble, or a problem with the existing file.

1- The document you are working with, is it a scanned document or contain text and images both? Any other PDF that returns the same error?

2- We have an option update available for Acrobat DC. You may install it from within Acrobat itself. Open Acrobat>Help>Check for update> Reboot Acrobat or refer to this release note: https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/ReleaseNotesDC/index.html

3- If its a specific document, then Navigate to Acrobat>Edit>Preferences>Security (Enhanced)>disable "Protected View"and "Enhanced Security">OK>Reboot Acrobat
Note: these changes are only for testing purpose. Once tested, please change it back to the previous setting. 

4- In next step Open Acrobat>Help>Repair Installation>reboot Acrobat DC

 

Let us know if this makes a difference.

 

Thanks,

Akanchha

I am having the same problem. It started after my CC subscription renewed in January 2021. It is not the PDF, it is not my computer, it is not my OS. I've tried all of the "solutions" from all of the forums and "communities" where this problem has been reported. I consider this Adobe forcing us to pay for a defective product. Please fix it.

 

P.S. It also happened in Illustrator 2021. So... there's that.

Any updates on the error. If I have a PDF open for a long period of time it throws this error. 
When I close and re-opoen it is fine again.  I am working with Acrobat Pro 2017

Any ideas???

I'm having this same problem on a daily basis, but there are no updates available according to Acrobat.

    Hi Akanchha, 

     

    I followed your instructions but the document is still throwing the error. 

     

    Its a print out of a receipt, with text and images. 

     

    Thanks,
    SMT
