The solution that works for me (Acrobat 9 with Windows 10) is a combination of 2 answers above. First, make sure to save the object/image as PNG (not JPG, BMP, etc.). Second, under Edit > Preferences > page display - Under resolution just click "Use system settings" (but note if your page resolution was different than the default, it may be changed by this step). But now when you do Place Image, it will work.
