    Hi,

    I've got several PDF-Files originating from commercial scan systems internally using ABBY FineReader Engine 11. Files are PDF 1.5 ("Acrobat 6.x") and contain the scanned image (JBIG2) on top of an "invisible" OCR-Text (FlateDecode). Additionally two Fonts are embedded.

    Opening the file in PDF24 Blacken works as expected, I can draw shapes and save the file without any indication of an error. The resulting file can be opened in Adobe Reader (2022.001.20169, 2022.002.20191), however viewing a page containing blackened parts leads to an error message and empty page displayed:

    An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem.

    I could reproduce the same problem with older systems (PDF 1.3, Adobe 4.x, also ABBY FineReader Engine 11). Opening the blackened file works in some 3rd party readers (PDF24 Reader, xpdf), others show the page but also errors (pdftopng) or also only a blank page (atril).

    Source File details:

    OCR/Text is no factor, image only via FineReaderEngine11 shows the same behavior

    Please send such an PDF (not blackened/redacted) to forum@pdf24.org so that we can have a look.
