Reader XI (11.0.0) fails to fix "insufficient data for an image" error

after updating to 10.1.4 we were getting numerous "insufficient data for an image" errors on some pages only.  These are documents (construction plans) scanned by a client and we have no control over their workflow or methods.  The device reported in the pdf file proerties is a Canon iR C3850. 
The problem persists in Reader XI on both Win7-32bit and XP Pro SP3 PCs.  Rolling back to 10.1.3 was also ineffective.  Any ideas why the docmented fix does not work?
Thanks.
BC.

Under Reader X it works fine.
Thanks.

  • Upgrading to Adode 11 doesnt fix "insufficient data for an image"

    Hi,
    We were getting "insufficient Data for an image" error while opening PDF documents on Adobe 8,9.
    As it was suggested that Adobe X1 has a fix for this issue we upgraded the reader however we are still facing the same issue with the updated Adobe version.
    Could you please suggest.

  • "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.

  • PDF from postscript (ps2pdf) displays "Insufficient data for an image" error in Reader

    Hello,
    I'm not fully confident this is the best place for this, but I'll start here. Note that this is NOT the same as the issue that was recently fixed in Reader 11 (found at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/insufficient-data-image.html)
    I am using the command "ps2pdf" (using Ghostscript) to convert postscript files to PDF. To get better quality, I use the ps2pdf options "-dAutoFilterColorImages=false -dColorImageFilter=/FlateEncode", which force lossless encoding for color images. However, there are images on certain pages that yield the error "Insufficient data for an image" when opened in Adobe Reader XI (current version), and the image on that page is not viewable (or rather, it can be viewed, but only until you get the whole image on the screen; then the image disappears). If the PDF is printed, the image will not print. The error also occurs in Acrobat 9.4.0, and possibly other versions. However, Reader 8 displays the files with no issues. Also, Foxit reader displays the PDF files fine.
    The postscript files are screenshots generated by the user dragging a box to define the area of the screen to be printed to file. This issue only occurs for some size boxes that the user draws; others come out fine and are read by Reader just fine.
    This only happens when using FlateEncode; using lossy JPEG compression (e.g. the default ps2pdf output) does not yield files that produce the error.
    Here are some example files to demonstrate the issue (hey, maybe the issue is not even reproducible for other people! That would be helpful to know if true, so even if you can't help solve the problem, if you could verify whether this issue occurs when you open one of these files in Reader or Acrobat, it would awesome).
    bad pdf where error occurs: http://www.mediafire.com/file/zbk36yfy7vrhvhw/gmbad.pdf
    good pdf (very similar, but slightly different box drawn): http://www.mediafire.com/file/649fuxul0td5bsx/gmgood.pdf
    Merged good and bad: http://www.mediafire.com/file/54nwwebh3da7p9w/good_and_bad.pdf
    If anyone has any ideas on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it. Or if you think this isn't the right place for this, and perhaps know of a better place for my question, I'd appreciate that too. Thanks!
    Additional possibly relevant information:
    ps2pdf is being run using Ghostscript 8.15 on Unix Solaris 10. I also ran the same postscript files through ps2pdf (again using Ghostscript 8.15) on a Windows 7 machine, and the resulting PDFs did not exhibit the same errors when opened in Reader or Acrobat.
    Adobe Reader 8 and 11, and Foxit were run on Windows 7. Acrobat 9.4.0 was run through a Citrix server, and I'm not sure what version of Windows it runs on.
    I tried lots of different options in ps2pdf, and also tried running the postscript through ghostscript directly (using the "gs" command). Nothing was able to eliminate the error without resorting to using lossy JPEG compression.
    I am now using lossy (but fairly high quality) JPEG compression in the workflow, accepting the loss in quality and (paradoxically) doubled filesize of the JPEG-compressed PDF files, so I'm really just pursuing this to figure out what the heck is going on, not because it is mission critical.
    Postscript files used to create the above pdfs:
    bad: http://www.mediafire.com/file/v656dp45h2jeyj6/gmbad.ps
    good: http://www.mediafire.com/file/47sn60dgbzbxrs6/gmgood.ps
    The .ps files are very similar to each other, differing only in the image content and the image location/translation.
    The postscript files give multiple warnings/errors when opened in gsview (this happens with all .ps files created by Pinnacle, not just the ones giving me issues).
    The program that is used to create the postscript files is Philips (Adac) Pinnacle^3, a treatment planning system for radiation oncology.

    Hi, thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  Our application uses scanned images up to 10 years old, and there are thousands of images so we cannot rescan these unfortunately.   
    I work in a large organisation with it's own desktop team so unfortunately I can't upgrade the version of Reader on our user's machines to see if this resolves either.  The desktop team will also not upgrade the version as the problem appears to have only started in 9.5.2. 
    Does anyone know how I can confirm if the problem was first seen in 9.5.2 or if there were instances in 9.5.1 also?
    Thanks again

  • "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.

    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.

  • "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.

  • Reader 11.0.03 - "Insufficient data for an image"

    Hi! Since Adobe Reader 10.1.5 we get the message “Insufficient data for an image” for several pdf-Files.
    Can anybody from Adobe analyse this pdf-files?
    I can send a test-file.
    Thanks
    Thomas

    I have had a closer look at the document, and it appears as if the image on page 2 is somewhat corrupted.
    Then I have done the following
    opened the image with Photoshop; PS seems to have corrected the image.
    saved the image as a PSD file
    opened the damaged image from the PDF with Illustrator
    replaced the image with the corrected image from Photoshop
    saved the image back into the original PDF; the PDF can now be successfully opened
    I have sent you the corrected PDF via Acrobat.com Workspaces to your email address.
    Now of course I am aware that this did not solve the problem for you.  But it did, to me at least, prove that the document contained a damaged image.
    I can see that the document was created with Corel Draw X5.  Now the big question is: is it a problem of Corel Draw, or Adobe Reader / Acrobat 11.0.3?
    Have you tried to contact Corel about the issue?

  • 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

  • Reader XI - Insufficient Data for an Image

    Hello,
    I have a few PDFs that I am unable to open. They give me an error saying 'Insufficient Data for an Image'. I have the latest version of Reader. I have tried to save the PDF in different formats. I have tried to reduce the file size and optimize the PDF. None of those worked. However, I am able to view the PDF using a web browser such as Google Chrome. This is not a solution, though, because I have users who need to be able to view the file inside of the Adobe Reader program.
    I can provide the PDF to an Adobe employee if that helps. I'd rather not post it publicly because the PDF(s) in question is a company invoice.
    If there is any more information I can provide please let me know.
    Thank you!
    EDIT: I've come to notice that many others have posted this issue with absolutely zero reply from anybody. I would prefer to use live chat considering this is what I feared when being directed only to a forum for support on this. I would appreciate ANY help or assistance with this issue.

    Unfortunately I cannot provide a sample file as I cannot distribute the information contained in the problem files.
    I've tried to replicate the issue printing pages I could distribute to .PDF, but so far I've only found the problem in the context of a web service that generates summaries of project information.  Again, while I cannot provide I sample I can say that these are not complicated or heavily formatted tables, and have also displayed fine in the past.
    Until the most recent Adobe update I never had any trouble viewing the .PDF files that Chrome generated of these tables.
    Chrome has silent updates, so Chrome may have introduced the problem.  I have no way of knowing what's going on with the backend of the web service that generates the tables so a change there may have introduced the problem.
    Adobe Reader will still read my previously generated .PDF tables, so that suggests that the problem may have been introduced during the creation of the .PDFs.  That said, the files remain valid .PDFs readable without difficulty by other software (ie. OS X Preview).
    Based on my anecdotal Google trouble-shooting I'd submit that it appears that recent versions of Adobe Reader have suffered from some issue that creates failures to display the content of certain, otherwise readable .PDF files.  While the scale of the problem may not be great, for those impacted it appears to call for the adoption of alternative .PDF viewing software.

  • Has anyone come across the 'insufficient data for an image' bug in Reader 9.5.1??

    We have an application that uses Reader to open scanned documents containing JP2K images and our users are intermittently getting this error however I can only find instances online of this bug from version 9.5.2 up.

  • Reader XI still gives "insufficient data for image" error

    Our fax machine creates .pdf files of the faxes and recently our back office has had trouble printing them. When I look at them they give an "insufficient data for image" error, but only on one page each. I've tried upgrading to reader XI but the problem persists. I've gotten around it by taking a screenshot and printing the one page that doesn't work so far, but I'd like to get this fixed. It only started happening today. I have a call in to our fax provider, but I was wondering if anyone here had any possible solutions.
    Thanks,
    Also due to the nature of the documents I'm unable to provide a sample.

    It is also happening to me (running v 11.0.2).  I tried adjusting the various settings under the "View" menu and at best could only see part of what was missing.  I resolved the issue by downloading and installing Foxit Reader.  Bingo! now I can see the entire document.

    A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
    Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially. 
    I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
    You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.
