Unable to convert an image (.bmp) to PDF

[Ragha_K]

I have a written servlet that uses Adobe LiveCycle API to convert files to PDF. This works. I have a problem with one image (.BMP) for which the PDF conversion fails. I then tried converting the image to PDF using Adobe Acrobat. I see the following error:

I am able to open the image file without any issues. Why does Acrobat think the file is corrupt? Is there a way to find out if an image is OK for PDF conversion, either manually or programmatically? Attaching the image file for reference.
