   That viewer is xreader which is a Cinn fork of eye of Gnome.   
      
   I don't know the answer to your problem, but I used hexdump on a couple   
   of .pdf/s I had lying around.  Alternatively one could do about all I   
   did w/ that w/ the xed text reader which will show the first few chars   
   of the .pdf.  Mine start w/ '%PDF-1.5' (no quote).   
      
   I don't know how yours start; but you might look at that first part to   
   compare the ones that open w/ the ones that don't to see if there is   
   something wrong in that little bit.
