[Widespread Error] Adobe Acrobat XI Pro "insufficient Memory" or "not enough data"

I haven't personally experienced them. But it is worth noting that Acrobat Reader doesn't read the whole file into memory, because it might be dealing with files that are too big for memory. So... it will read part of the file when you start up, and more later. For example, if you move to the next page, or do a FIND, or do a SAVE AS, the chances are it will need to reread the original file. This should be fine, everything should continue to work.

But let's look at some theoretical issues.

* Maybe some servers have a timeout on open files. Hey, that file's been open 6 hours, let's close it. Or they get closed overnight, or maybe a server reboot overnight. Unless you force a shutdown on your users, they may have PDF documents open for days or weeks.

* Maybe some users get their systems hibernated. This does strange things to network shares, because to the server, it's gone away. Word refuses to allow hibernation for this reason.

No, no options at all. It just opens a file and expects to be able to use it, whether it is local or networked.

I would wish to test whether the network was behind this. See whether a particular problem user can work entirely from local copies. If the problem goes away, you have to look at the network to see what is causing it to fail so often.

That is an interesting one because this "insufficient data for an image" error has always been solid in previous reports, and is usually a faulty PDF. If it happens randomly, I wonder if the files are coming from a network location?

Is the “not enough data“ message longer than that? is it repeatable (you always get it for particular files)?

At the time of the error, how much memory is the Acrobat Pro application using? (See Task Manager)
