Sometimes our users have to add an image to a drawing. No problem. However, when they go to save the drawing they get the below error message. This happens with PDF's, BMP's, JPEG', and TIFF's. Probably others. These are only the ones I tested.
I checked PTC's site and they have a couple documents on this. Document - CS103788. According to this document a registry entry can be added to the computer.

On a test computer I have I checked before adding this entry if I get the same error and I did. Then I added it to the test computer and it does seem to have corrected the problem. I don't get the error when I save the drawing. I checked the drawing in and checked the published views. The image does not publish but that issue might be for the Windchill group. I opened the drawing on my primary computer. The image doesn’t show and when I select the area where the image should be Creo highlights the outline of the image.
I made a change to something other than the image to the drawing on my primary computer and saved it but don’t check it in. Creo allowed me to save it without that error.
Then I go back to that test computer and open the modified drawing. Again, the image highlights the edges but the image is not there. Lastly I deleted the blank image and added it again on that test computer. It displays the image again and it let me save without giving me the error.
Has anyone used this registry entry or have you found a different solution? Assuming that registry entry would fix the publishing issue I can't imagine my IT manager will allow this on the publishing computer. Not only that but it would have to be pushed out to all our Creo user's computers.
