It seems to be a known thing - they tend to only work with Adobe. Since 256bit was introduced with PDF/1.7 my guess is Kobo, like Apple and I would hazard a guess many others, don't support PDF/1.7. As this doesnt seem to be an isolated thing - my guess is licensing costs against supporting a handful of documents.

My other guess is Kobo (and probably Apple etc) would answer 'Convert to an earlier PDF format'
