    Acrobat X  600dpi b&w pdf Edit Object fails to load Photoshop

      Hello:

       

      Adobe Acobat X correctly loads Photoshop when Edit Object | Edit Image is invoked on a color PDF.  But it fails to make the transfer when the pdf is a black and white document image pdf (1 bit per color component).  Instead, the error "Touchup cannot complete this operation" pop-up appears.

       

      I seem to recall reading somewhere that Photoshop can't edit black and white images (not 8 bits per color component grayscale, black and white singe bit per color component).  Attempting to open the source document with Photoshop shows it is trying to convert it to RGB -- and only offers grayscale lower than that.

       

      Does Edit | Preferences | Touchup need to have a Page/Object editor specified as well, for this type of image?  It already has Photoshop as the image editor. Would that be Illustrator (not yet installed on my system)?

       

      Thank you in advance for your help.
