Hi all,
I am using Adobe Pro 11 and on opening a pdf I am getting error 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. Please help and provide a workaround if the solution not there.
I have already set the preferences to for page view to low zoom settings, and page fit view settings, but it never opens the pdf. Please check and provide a solution asap.
Thanks in advance!

Most of the documents have sensitive info on them. I will have to do some looking for some that i can share, but will get something to upload (dropbox) as soon as I can.
Thanks for you help.

Why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document

why do I keep getting an error "insufficient data for an image" when opening a document in Adobe Reader XI 11.0.06

I am also having this problem, especially with scanned documents. Since I need to download scanned documents in my work this is a big problem!Sometimes I can read but not save the document, sometimes one or two of the pages will be blank from the start. I have the latest version of Adobe Reader XI (11.0.10). I tried reducing the page zoom, a suggested workaround on this page: Acrobat: “Insufficient data for an image” error after updating to 10.1.4 or 9.5.2, but that did not help at all. FWIW I use a Windows 8.1 PC with 4 GB RAM. I usually download PDFs from the internet using Firefox.

Reader version 9 not opening some files: error "insufficient data for an image"

Adobe reader version 9 is having difficulties opening PDF's, mainly with PDF's that contain charts or jpg's.
When using Google Chrome browser, I get the message "insufficient data for an image."
I am using windows XP. When I open these same PDF's using Internet Explorer, they display fine, but some of them don't print, and cause the printing spooler to malfunction, i.e., the print spooler begins turning itself off repeatedly, and then I can't print anything from any program. This print spooler problem is really difficult to solve. But I think all of this is originating from some inability of the current version of Adobe to handle some PDF's, which is a recent phenomenon. I've never had problems like this before with previous versions.

I've had the same problem then it got "magically" fixed by itself. A big thanks to Adobe for their updates

Let me know if it works.

"Insufficient data for an image" when opening a PDF, even with Adobe Reader 11.0.06

I have extracted some pages from a large, scanned, PDF into a separate document, using a product called Nuance PDF Converter 7, and when we try to open that with Adobe Reader 11.0.06, we receive the error "Insufficient data for an image". I have read that this error was supposed to be fixed with the latest version of Adobe Reader 11, but I have installed that, and it doesn't help.

Adobe Standard 9.5.2 after update I get "Insufficient data for an image" error

After updating to Acrobat Standard and Readre 9.5.2, some (but not all) of my pdf files are now opening with the error "Insufficient data for an image." The files open, but they are fuzzy, pixelated and are missing the bates stamp I applied earlier (using a utility from LexisNexis Casemap). I can open the files fine on another computer with Acrobat Standard 9.5.1.
How can I uninstall the 9.5.2, or get it to work again?

Windows 7 64-bit with Samsung SSD on an i5 Lenovo laptop. Yes, I have both Acrobat Standard and Reader 9.5.2 on the machine. Both give the same error when opening the attached file.

Hi osieko,Can you share across any such sample pdf file? Also, what OS are you working upon?You have both Acrobat Standard 9.5.2 and Reader 9.5.2 installed on your machine. Right? One option that you can try is to repair your Acrobat/Reader from Programs in Control Panel and see if that resolves the issue.Otherwise kindly attach a screenshot of the error you are receiving along with any sample pdf file.

"insufficient data for an image" error using Firefox 3/Reader 9

I find some PDF files won't open in Firefox (3.0.3), giving the error "insufficient data for an image". usually the first page displays (partly garbled), then when I try to page down, I get this error. The PDF files are fine -- if I "Save as" they open without problems and they open in IE6.
The problem is not consistent: the same file will open at one attempt and not at the next (and vice versa).
Anyone come across this problem?
Thanks, Jim

The same error occurs in Google Chrome and even in the actual reader itself when trying to open certain PDFs. Adobe is almost impossible to contact directly and there are few clues as to how to resolve this issue on their website.
Not only were there "insufficient data for an image" errors, other errors also displayed, sometimes resulting in freezing the browser and forcing a Ctrl, Alt, Del / end program procedure.
An uninstall and reinstall of Adobe 9 did not resolve the issue. After discussion with another user who did not have Adobe 9 installed, and was still using Adobe 8, it was clear that the issues surround Adobe 9. This was uninstalled and replaced with Adobe 8 and so far all documents that did not previously open now open without a problem.
While one cannot with certainty verify whether this solution works with Firefox, it is clear that Adobe 9 has a number of issues. Backward compatibility may be one of them. Documents constructed to display on older readers obviously create problems for Adobe 9. An interesting point is that even with Adobe 9 installed, by uploading the direct link to the PDF in question to Google Docs, the document displays without a problem within Google Docs itself, though a download of the same reproduces the same errors as outlines above.
So in summary, try uninstalling Adobe 9 and install Adobe 8. NB: it is advisable to close all browsers before initiating the new install to enable browser integration.
Good luck.

"Insufficient data for an image" when opening file

I am the administrator of a corporate environment.
We have 25 users with Acrobat Standard 9 on Windows XP.
ONE user is coming to me about an error "Insufficient data for an image" while trying to open some PDF files.
There is no rhyme or reason to which files cause this error and it only effects her.
I've looked online and seen alot of people complaining about this errror message, but no one with a solution.
Can anyone assist?
Thanks

Are these PDFs that have been received via e-mail ?
In doing the research on this error, it seems that there isn'nt any commonality except that these are PDFs being received either from the web or via e-mail. In one case the fella solved it my realizing that the image was 24/bit but had been saved as 8/bit (not sure if that was a source problem or transfer issue). But that might have been a one off solution.
A lot of users were complaining about this problem after receiving a PDF via e-mail. Sending PDFs through e-mail wthout using an archive format such as "zip/WinRAR" can be problematic as some e-mail servers/clients assume that the PDF is text and munge it.
Is this one user using the same e-mail client with the exact same settings as everyone else ?

Insufficient Data for an Image Acrobat Pro 11.0.6 - Windows 8.1

We have recently upgraded several users in our office to Windows 8.1. They are running Acrobat Pro 11.0.6, which they had previously been running Windows 7 without issue.
Now, in Windows 8, they will have a PDF file open and pages in it start to go blank followed by the "insufficient data for an image" error. It seems that this may be related to having a downloaded PDF file open in another window, or making comments in a PDF file.
Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions on what to do? We've uninstalled/reinstalled, run a cleaner tool, etc... to no avail. The other suggest Adobe has had so far is to change the zoom on the file; that did not resolve it either.

We are having the same issue. I've tried the newest version of Acrobat (11.0.6) on windows 7, and windows 8.1. I've also tried earlier version of acrobat (9 & 10) fully updated. So far I have found 2 pdf's that consistently cause the "Insufficient data for an image." error. The pdf i've been using to test is located here (http://japoncaogreniyorum.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/lets_learn_japanese_basic_ii_1_of_2. pdf) If i open that pdf in acrobat 11.0.6 i get the error right away. If i open that same pdf in chrome it opens with no errors and looks as it should. No missing pages, half pages, or blank pages. The second pdf i've been testing this with is confidential but it has yielded the same results. Regardless of the version of acrobat i open the pdf's in i get the error. In chrome they display and print with no errors.
Again this is tested with Acrobat 11.0.6 on Windows 7 & 8.1. This is the version cited by adobe to fix this very problem.
Any help is much appreciated

Error when opening legitimate documents "Insufficient data for an image"

I work for a company who has sold "downloadable resources" via PDF for years now. We created a large batch of PDF documents in 2003 with
Adobe Acrobat 6.0 paper capture, and these are all PDF 1.5 type documents. We've provided these resources for years, however just today we were notified by a user that upon downloading the file they get a message "Insufficient data for an image". These ARE NOT HACKED PDF's. and they worked fine until 9.0. I have tried 9.0 and 9.1, on multiple computers and have confirmed this issue.
Now we are stuck with hundreds of PDF's that won't open in 9.x.
I did try downloading a free demo of "PDF-TOOLS" Recovery & Analysis tool, and I open the file using that program, scan the file - TELLS ME ALL IS OK, then resave it using that program.
Only then can I open it in 9.x.
What are we to do now short of buying a $200 tool and taking perhaps several days of time to open and save hundreds of "previously working" PDF files???

RollingRocker, did you ever get a solution for this? I am having the same problem. I produce a pdf using a JSF third party api called flying saucer, which actually uses itext to produce the pdf. I can attempt to produce the same exact pdf over and over and about 85% of the time the error occurs and the rest of the time the pdf opens successfully with no error. Obviously 15% of the time the reader is completely happy with this pdf, so it is not a malicious document in any way.

"Insufficient data for an image" still occurs with Adobe Reader 11.0.02

Hello,
I have upgraded to Adobe Reader 11.0.02 although I still recieve the "Insufficient data for an image" error when viewing some PDF files.
Please help.
Thanks,
Steve

This message only comes up when editing.
I've been trying to recreate different scenarios and it seems that it is constantly happening when I delete a page and try to save the PDF. After deleting a page, when I try to save I get this:
When I try to close out it lets me save but then viewing the PDF I get this:
When this happens, we are missing signatures or chunks of texts above the signatures, or even whole pages of text.
We have never had this issue before and we do edit PDF's all the time.

Well, if you have not backed them up, they are gone.
Next time, when you have important material in only one place, back it up.

Error opening PDF in 9.1.0 ("Insufficient Data for image") and 7.0.9

I generate PDF documents in code (basically converts TIFF images to PDF, using FOP).
Few of the PDFs can not be viewed on Adobe Reader 9.1.0, and 7.0.9. But, these open fine on 8.0 version.
With 9.1.0 version I get error as "Insufficient Data for image"
With 7.0.9 the error is "A drawing error occured"
8.0 works fine and opens the PDF.
Is there any issue with 9.1.0 for opening PDFs, I got this version installed recently on my system.
Appreciate an early help/views on this issue.
Thanks,
Umakant

Try this - from adobe support!
It worked for me and (as it seems) solved a one year long anoying issue.
1. Exit Acrobat.
2. Choose Start > Run, and type: %APPDATA%\Adobe\Acrobat\ into the Open text box. Click OK.
3. Right-click either the 6.0 or 7.0 folder, and choose Delete.
I deleted both folders.
Dont worry these two preferences folders will automatically be renewed by acrobat!

Insufficient Data for an Image error with Adobe CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

We are using the standard function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to
print a standard invoice to the spool and convert it to a PDF. This
PDF is displayed on the web by directing the output of this function module to Adobe Reader.
We are having a production problem where suddenly these PDFs will not
print, and are displaying the error message "Insufficent data for an
image" with Adobe Reader. While a partial PDF is displayed, some of
the data is missing. It appears that the image that is being complained about is a company logo, and the pdf also does not display some additional characters.
We saw this data 2 years ago in production, but it suddenly went away
after a few days. Suddenly it is back.
The issue can be easily replicated in our Dev system and Prd system,
but Tst is acting fine.
Has anyone ever seen this error? Any advice on what may be occurring would be a huge help with this production problem.

Haven't seen that error before. How are you converting the data after the function call if at all, i.e., are you moving to an XSTRING before handing it off to the web app?
The things I would suggest which may be stating the obvious are:
- Download the PDF locally after conversion with GUI_DOWNLOAD and check for the error
- Does the same issue occur with program RSTXPDFT4 or fm RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB or a SAPOffice (direct) conversion?
- Remove the logo and try and/or take the original logo, reconvert it to BMP and upload it again in SE78
- What happens if you change the destination device in the call, if anything?
- Does OSS note 1320163 apply?

I am using Adobe Pro 11 and on opening a pdf I am getting error 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. Please help and provide a workaround if the solution not there.
