Copying and Pasting PNG causes a black box

[Nikita21917005vq8x]

Hi guys

Please can someone assist me?

I can add a PNG image in Adobe Acrobat DC (version 21.007.20099), but when i try to copy that same image and paste it into the same PDF document, it causes a black box

This has never happened before? i have always been able to copy and paste PNG images without an issue?

Please assist?

Hi Nikita

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, Copying and Pasting PNG causes a black box

Would you mind sharing a small video recording of the issue for a better understanding? Also please share the sample PDF file and the PNG image so that we can check it our end.

Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

What is the version of the OS you are using?

Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-defau... and see if that makes any difference

You may also create a new test user profile or enable the root account in MAC and try using the application there and check.

I am experiencing the same issue, I noticed it started happening mid january, before then, it would paste fine. I'm guessing maybe linked to an update or something.

[Nikita21917005vq8x]

It happens in any PDF file

Moved the preferences folder as you suggested and it does not help

Have attached an example of a PNG that i use and a video showing what happens

i have copied and pasted images like this onto acrobat for ages. never had an issue

Windows Version 19042.1348

Thank you Amal 🙂

Hi there

I have discussed the issue with the engineering team and they have suggested to insert the PNG image using the 'Add image' option present in the Edit Tool

1. Open the PDF

2. Go to Tools > Edit

3. Select 'Insert Image' and follow the onscreen instructions and check.

Hi Amal

Yes that works fine.

But sometimes i need to copy and paste the same picture multiple times. Doing it the way you are suggesting is time consuming. Copying and pasting an image has never been a problem, why is it a problem now?

I need a better solution for this please

Did you ever get an update for this? I am having the same issue now.

I have also experienced the same issue, happened recently, been able to copy and paste for ages without any issues and all of a sudden it gives a black image (png file).

Please try and provide a solution as it seems to be a general problem being experienced.

Hello I've been having this same exact issue for the last few weeks. It has really been negatively impacting our productivity, we never had this issue before.

[Nikita21917005vq8x]

Hi Amal

it has now been more than 2 months since i first requested assistance. This is getting ridiculous. There are obviously a lot of people having the same problem. Our productivity is affected

Please can we have a solution?

This was not an issue previously? there must have been an update that caused this issue. Can we not just undo the update?
