   unopenable pdf fiules

   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
