failing to display included images with Acrobat Reader

[gipert]

I have some problems in displaying some images included in my presentation in Adobe Acrobat Reader, here's the minimal code that reproduces the issue:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{metropolis}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{test}
    \includegraphics[height=7cm]{test-img.pdf}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

When I try to open the PDF file with Adobe Acrobat I get a warning message and the included image is not displayed at all. The problem is solved if I just comment the \usetheme{metropolis} line. The issue does not show up with other viewers (e.g. OSX's Preview) and then I can just avoid using Acrobat, however I must use it if I want to include animations in my presentations...

Do someone know what could be the source of this issue?

Probably linked to this: the viewers I use take some time to load a single slide of my presentation, depending on the complexity, but if I export again the PDF file with the "export as PDF" feature of Preview the problem disappears and all the slides are loaded very quickly!

Here's the image!

It shows fine for me but I also see large load times and lag. Unfortunately, I don't know (yet) how the theme could cause this issue. I'll keep this open, thanks for the report.
