|    unopenable pdf fiules    |

      From: pinnerite@gmail.com              Since 2010 I have been scanning documents and creating pdfs from them       before shredding them.              Most of them were scanned by a Fujitsu cut-sheet feeder.       I had to use Fujitsu's software but that only runs under Windows XP.              I have had too retain a virtual XP ever since.              Today I had to trace back through the pdfs to uncover some information.              Some I could but others refused to open with the Mint Document Viewer.              Naturally I turned to Google. Most suggestions were useless but I hoped       that xpdf mught turn out to be a winner. Not in Mint's repository. :(              Next I tried opening one file in LibreOffice writer and it did! :)              But it was the only one. :(              Is there anyone that has cracked this?              TIA                     --       Mint 20.3, kernel 5.4.0-122-generic, Cinnamon 5.2.7       running on an AMD Phenom II X4 Black edition processor with 16GB of       DRAM.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
