XnView Software

Thank you for the clearer images, I repeat my questions...

1. Are you scanning from within XnView MP? [Using the TWAIN interface]

2. Which file format is the saved scan? Possibly PDF?

Maybe you can also attach an example scan output file?

... good day.
I attach two more images.
I highlighted the two boxes where, in the first, the Xnview one, the acquisition value is indicated: 300 dpi (the scan was done as a photo and not as a pdf) and in the second box, the Photoshop one, the dpi value is indicated: 72.
I don't understand why this change.

Your images cannot be viewed as the resolution is too low, but:

1. Are you scanning from within XnView MP?

2. Which file format is the saved scan? Possibly PDF?

Seems fixed now.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.9.1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

you can't open any PDF files with GS 9.50?

... in Windows, this is likely the first time that a test file has been posted.

Seems possibly a deeper issue related to reading particular valid PDF files than a GS version issue, other PDF files do open normally.

Update: v1.9.0 doesn't open other PDF files, GS 9.50 installed... :wink:

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

The point here is that on this laptop XnView does open other PDF files while not opening this particular file, which can be opened in all other PDF viewers tested.

As stated, a similar issue has arisen periodically over the years.

... currently installed version is 9.50.

But dating back a long time, there has been an occasional issue not I think investigated in detail before, of certain PDF files that open normally in other software not being opened by XnView software, when other PDF files as in this case are opened successfully.
