Can't open scanned pdfs after 2018.011.20036

After this update when we try to open a scanned document (scanned as image and then automatically coverted to text via Abbyy Recognition Server) it shows an error "Insufficient data for an image.". 2018.009.20050 works fine. We have about 200 workplaces. Manually downgrading to some older version, which won't auto-update itself again would be a major headache and workflow breakage. Need a fix for this as soon as possible. 20035 version (which is available as full installer) has the same issue.

P.S. this is a second in a row disruptive update (last one was with a crash opening pdfs with forms). Seriously doubting a value of having continuous version of Adobe Reader. It proves to be very problematic..

It appears that we're running into this issue again for some reason. When I go to your site to download Acrobat Reader DC the version it's downloading and installing is 2018.011.20035, is that what it's supposed to be? Please advise ASAP.


Thank you,

Any new update on this? Last thing I see is a fix was identified but was going through testing.

This is a major desaster for us.

It seems all documents created on ABBYY Finereader Engine 10 cannot be opened anymore with 2018.011.20035 and 20036.
Please fix this as soon as possible.

Issue is occurring in our environment as well. I had to resort to using Foxit Reader in the meantime until this gets fixed

Do you have a workaround for this? Causing a lot of grief now for our company......

I am having the same issue after an update on 2-13-18.  Hoping there is a new file to fix this.

We have also had this issue reported to us. Is this the best/official location to track the issue to resolution with Adobe?

We are also having this same issue.  We are an insurance company with many PDF files accessed by those we do business with.  They cannot open the files any longer.  This is very disruptive.  What information can we provide about our files to get Adobe on top of identifying and rectifying the issue?  From our perspective we are producing .PDF files which is a file type standard that should be accommodated by products like Adobe's offerings forever without restriction.  How can I contribute to you, Adobe, fixing the bug you've introduced into the wild?  Bare in mind that businesses interact with many home users and therefore don't necessarily have access to their software to assist them with downgrading versions, etc.

Thanks,

Dave

I have also come across this issue after the latest update to Reader DC was install, however of the affected documents, I have only noticed it occurring for PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x).
