sql server reporting services : SP2 Export To PDF Error

I have a PNG embedded image as the background image for a table in my report.
Everything works great except that since we put reporting services SP2 on
our server when you try to render the report to PDF, Adobe gives the
following error: "insufficient data for an image".

Everything worked fine prior to the SP2 installation.

a few things you could check/experiment with:
Try without the image, just to make sure that really is the problem.
Check the permissions of the image.
Delete the image from the server and redeploy the report (the 'tech
support' method :) ).
Try with a GIF or JPG instead (yes, that would be obnoxious for it to
not work with PNG..)

There are problems with certain types of PNG images inside of PDF documents
in SP2. You can use a color type 3 PNG file or a JPG/GIF.

I have the same problem, and have temporarily decided to convert all graphic
files to BMP, they are working for now. I hope I find the solution soon, as I
have tons of reports that need to be reworked thanks to this SP...

I got the same error message when using photo images (JPEG) in the report. I
found out that it has to do with the properties of the embedded image. If I
store the photo as "True Color" before embedding it everything works fine.
When I store it a black & white I get the error message and can't export the
report to PDF.
