Error Placing Image. Selecting Touch Up Object Tool, Right clicking and selecting Insert Image, select a jpeg file (or any other picture file), and get error "Incorrect PDE Object type".
Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with Windows 8.1. I can't even insert an image created in Photoshop Essentials.
By making a button above that is the clue to needing a correct lower file size.
What worked for me was to resize the image to 22kb by using Paint 3D and sized the canvas to 25%. The image then placed without the error message. Touchup object tool.
I did try the above mentioned items, screen resolution and to examine the document with remove, to no avail however if the above doesn't work you may need to do the above mentioned also.
The image that I need to place on my PDF file need to match with the DPI quality, eg. if the Adobe DPI setting at 96dpi, the image also need to be resized to 96dpi too.
I have the same issue and have followed the forum. I have used Adobe extensively for my work for many years. I had my work PC updated and also purchased a new laptop for myself. Since then the issue started. I use Pro 9. In the end, I purchased Foxit Phantom PDF as I could not continue figuring out how to get around what use to be a very simple task. I refuse to sign up for a subscription service. This was what solved it for me.
I had the same issues with the same version of both Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 10. Finally got it to work, and I'm not sure why only this specific way worked for me, but cropping the image I wanted to copy over the pdf using the snipping tool, saving it as a .png, then going through with the touch-up object -> place image.
No other combinations of actions work until this one, hope this helps.
The solution that works for me (Acrobat 9 with Windows 10) is a combination of 2 answers above. First, make sure to save the object/image as PNG (not JPG, BMP, etc.). Second, under Edit > Preferences > page display - Under resolution just click "Use system settings" (but note if your page resolution was different than the default, it may be changed by this step). But now when you do Place Image, it will work.
It's been awhile since anyone posted here, but I found a different solution that worked for me. Save the problem file as an "optimized" PDF. File, Save As, Save as type: Adobe PDF files, Optimized. I tried this on several problem files and the optimized version allowed me to copy/cut with no error messages. Hope this helps some.
J'ai essayé toutes les solutions proposées ci-dessus : cela a fonctionné quelque fois, mais pas tout le temps. La seule façon de faire pour avoir un résultat correct de façon systématique est d'utiliser Acrobat 9 avec Windows 7 ; pour ceux qui ont Windows 10, il faut installer un ordinateur virtuel sous Windows 7 !
Translation : I've tried all the solutions proposed above : it worked a few times, but not all the time. The only way to get a correct result systematically is to use Acrobat 9 with Windows 7 ; for those who have Windows 10, you need to install a virtual computer on Windows 7 !
Got the same issue in Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on Windows 10, previously all worked flawlessly on W7. Tried all the spells with Tools > Advanced Editing > TouchUp ObjectTool but to no avail. Here's what worked for me, generally go for "stamps".
Step 1.
Tools>Comment & Markup>Stamps>Create Custom Stamp... select your .png in Browse... Ok in next window choose category (I used dynamic), name as-is "New Stamp", Ok
Step 2.
Tools>Comment & Markup>Stamps>Dynamic, select your "New Stamp"
The "stamp" solution was the only one that worked for me on Windows 10 and Adobe PRO 9. I continued to get the "Incorrect PDE Object type" error when I tried the other suggestions.
