Error message Acrobat 9 pro, 'An Error was encountered while processing images'

I receive this error message when attempting to save as a compressed/optimized pdf The PDF that is 1400+ pages btw.

Yes it is up to date. Trying to save as an optimized PDF and it just keeps giving the error message. I have tried to change the settings in preflight and other areas but have not had success.

  • An error was encountered while processing images.  An error was encountered while flattening transpa

    I've looked around on the internet for a solution for this, but I'm finding no answers that help.
    I keep getting the following errors in Acrobat Pro 9.3 when trying to use the pdf optimizer. It's driving me nuts. I'm trying to compress an Indesign CS5 generated pdf. It contains transparent objects, and all the images are .ai files.
    If I leave the transparency box unchecked I immediately get this error:
    An error was encountered while processing images.
    If I check Transparency, it shows the little loading bar, as usual, and then when that's done I get this:
    An error was encountered while flattening transparent objects.
    The most annoying part of this, is that I've been using this same file for months now. Every so often the disclosures on it get updated, and I make the edits in Indesign, export, add form fields, and compress using pdf optimizer. Why all of a sudden is it grumpy? Is this a CS5 issue, because this form may not have been updated since I upgraded to CS5 from CS4?
    I've tried swapping out the .ai files with newly saved CS5 versions. I've tried flattening layers pre-export. I cannot remove transparency, so that's not an option. But, as a test I removed all images before export and the pdf compressed fine. Any ideas? There's no broken links or anything in the Indesign file.

    I had the same problem - a pdf created by CS5.5 suddenly could not be optimised - I was cropping the pdf (to get rid of trim marks) first before optimising and this threw up the error message "An error was encountered while flattening transparency"  I then optimised first before cropping the pdf and this seemed to get around this problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • An error was encountered while processing images

    Huge document, full of pictures and graphics. Created in Word for Mac 2011. Saved as pdf it's 38M.
    When I try to reduce the size, I get an error, "An error was encountered while processing images".
    No other info. Any clues?

    It would help to know what version of Acrobat. However, the better way is to probably work with the WORD file first. You might want to work on a copy so that you don't mess up the original. If you select a graphic in WORD, go to the format tab and select Compress Pictures. You might select the options and use 150 ppi or the 220. Many people use graphics with dpi in the thousands that the human eye can not see. You might also consider reducing the color depth from millions to 256 colors, or even 16 colors if a simple line drawing or such (this would probably have to be done to the graphic itself). If you uncheck the button to apply to the selected item, then the change will be applied to all figures (other than the color depth that can not be done this way).
    Another item that makes a PDF huge are tags. Tags are good for accessibility or going back to WORD (not a good idea in general), but take a lot of space. For the smallest reasonable PDF print to the Adobe PDF printer (this will not create tags or bookmarks) with at least the Standard settings (not embedding fonts is typically a bad idea -- though you might want to be careful about using lots of different fonts in your DOC file). If you use PDF Maker (the Acrobat tab in WORD), you can set the preferences about tags and the level of bookmarking in the PDF. All of this can help in creating a reasonable size PDF. For such a large PDF, the print root might be best. If you are careful, there should be no need for 38M.

  • How can I resolve the Acrobat Conversion Warning: Error encountered while processing images?

    I'm using Acrobat XI, version 11.0.07
    I created a PDF from PowerPoint 2008, and I'm simply trying to reduce the file size of my PDF from 7MB. 
    In Acrobat, I've attempted both "File>Save As Other>Reduced Size PDF..." and "File>Save As Other>Optimized PDF..."
    On each attempt I received this Conversion Warning: "An error was encountered while processing images."
    I've come across many other people experiencing this issue, but I have yet to find a clear, successful solution.
    For example, I've seen the proposed solution "Advanced>Print Production>Flattener Preview", but I am not even seeing where to locate these menu options.
    I'd appreciate your help in resolving the issue.
    Thanks!

    Very frustrated with Acrobat.  I've received zero responses to my request for help using the online Adobe Community Forum.  I also just spent almost two hours using the online Chat with Adobe trying to resolve the issue.  Conclusion: No resolution.  I'm currently using a trial of Acrobat, and this experience leaves me no desire to purchase the software upon the trial's end.

    Has anyone encountered this before ?
    The above message was generated and then my PC files in that folder were all erased.
    I'm using 7.1.30.9 and WinXP Home SP 3.
    Thanks.

    I'm synching file which could be a few MB.  But this does not happen all the time.  And if the data is hugh, should it just stop synching or synch slowly, instead of deleting all the files ?
    My software version is 30.019
    Hey, Thanks for your help. 

  • Error message: Acrobat 9 was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop).

    My harddrive crashed. New one installed. Restored data from Time Machine. When launching Acrobat 9 Pro, I get the following error message:
    "Acrobat was installed as part of a suite. To enable Adobe Acrobat, please start another component of this suite (such as Adobe Photoshop).
    I followed the prompt but still not launching. Any suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Hi baxterbabe,
    It is not recommended to use Time Machine to restore Adobe installations.
    As you can see that this has caused the corruption of the licensing file.
    Try launching Photoshop, go to 'Help' and select 'Deactivate' and then click 'Activate' from the same location.
    Now launch Acrobat and check if it works properly.
    You might also want to run the licensing repair tool from the link: Adobe - Adobe Licensing Repair Tool  and check if that works.
    If both these suggestions fail then you might want to uninstall the software completely and reinstall.

    Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

  • Error message while opening a project: "an error was encountered while loading the image"

    We've run into a new error message here today:
    an error was encountered while loading the image
    It appears when we try to load a recorded project. It occurs on both the cp-file and the backup file.
    It's on a windows 7-machine.
    Anyone encountered it and knows what it means?
    is the project lost forever?

    Hi there
    Hmmm, it may be related to Windows 7, but let's check the obvious stuff first.
    Where exactly is th project if you locate it using Windows Explorer? Is it found on your local C drive or is it found on a network drive?
    If it's on a network drive, please note that Captivate has never worked well with projects being edited while they are on network resources. So the first step in this case (assuming that's where the project is) would be to move the project file off the network and onto the local C drive. Then try opening again.
    Assuming the project isn't on a network, all still may not be lost. The next thing to try would be to create a new blank project sized identically to the one that seems to have gone south. Then click File > Import > Slides/Objects and see if you can import the content from the errant project into the new.
    And if those steps fail, it's likely time to restart from scratch. But depending on what you have done so far and how you have done it, you might be able to salvage some of it by playing back the content (assuming you have published it during testing) and record what you are playing back with Captivate.
    Best of luck to you in sorting things. You should also consider filing a Bug Report.

    It means your file is too large to fit on a single layer disk.

  • An Error was encountered while retrieving page content

    Hi guys,
    I have a user that is having an issue when trying to add a header & footer and is receiving "an error was encountered while retieving page content" error. Our firm has acrobat 9.0 pro on windows xp. The file is located on a network share and even if i copy this file to my desktop it gives me this error. Let me know if you guys need more information.
    Thanks.

    Checking the network share is always a good starting point. Acrobat has had problems with some of these over the years. I would generally recommend working locally. However, that does not appear to be the current problem. Since you mentioned AA9.0, my first recommendation is to update AA which is currently at 9.4.4 version. That may solve the problem, partiuclarly if you are using 9.0. The updates may be done from the help menu (you will likely see several. The should always be installed in order). The help menu links generally give you cummulative updates. You can also download them from Adobe.com>downloads and select the updates in the right field near the top. You can then search for the Acrobat Windows updates. You have to generally install ALL of them that are listed in order. They generally are not cummulative. I am guessing the updates may fix the problem.

  • Error message: The data for filename was already added to the form

    I recently modified an existing data-collection PDF - only mod was to add some additional pull-down menu options in two fields. I went thru the Distribution wizard, tested the revised form, added the PDF to the Responses file...everything seemed fine. Next day, I distributed the revised form, and had 22 submissions. When adding the 22 submissions to the Response file, 6 or 7 bounced with the error message "The data for <filename> was already added to the form", even though that was not true. I went back, cleared all, and added one of the "bad" files to the response form. It went in OK, but I could not add another "bad one". Although several of the forms may be submitted by the same person, the data is different in all of the submissions, plus, we've been doing this procdure for over a year and never had an issue until now.
    The original form may have been created in Acrobat X, and I have Acrobat 9 Pro. Not sure if that is part or all of the answer. Thanks for any insights...I saw a posting in the Reader side, but I can't see any answers.

    Hi
    According to your error message, we need to verify if Microsoft SQL Server Compact appears in the
    Change Data Source dialog. If not, you need to install
    SQL Server Compact components for Visual Studio firstly, and if you choose to install SQL Server Compact 4.0 , you should note that SQL Server Compact 4.0 supports in Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 or later versions. I recommend you to install the latest
    Service Pack (SP) of SQL Server Compact, and latest SP of Visual Studio, then check if the error still occurs. For more information, see:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlservercompact/archive/2011/03/15/sql-server-compact-4-0-tooling-support-in-visual-studio-2010-sp1-and-visual-web-developer-express-2010-sp1.aspx
    However if there is no problem with the installation of SQL Server Compact, it will be an issue that regards ASP.NET and website deployment. I suggest you to post the question in the ASP.NET forums at
    http://forums.asp.net/ . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    In addition, you can review the following link:

  • Error Message:  Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down.

    Hi. I'm having another serious problem with CS4 (the version that comes with CS5 when you don't have 64 bit capability. I just finished a project, had saved it, and then had switched over to Adobe Encoder to create a finished flash video (which worked perfectly). I shut down CS4, went home, tried to restart the main project to create a video from the same project (wanted to make an mpeg version as well) and got the following error message:
    Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. Then the system shuts down.
    Not only can I not open the project I was working on, I cannot open any of my prior projects without receiving the same error.
    Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this issue and how to resolve it?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    By the way, is everyone else having the same amount of problems with this software? I've never had any software that has had so many problems from the beginning. My opinion of this software and Adobe in general has gone down substantially.
