Hi,

 

I have problem with attached PDF. It is an output from some scanning software. Neither AP nor AD can open it ("The file could not be parsed"). However, Preview opens it with no problem.

 

Could you please have a look at it? I'm not sure whether it is PDF's problem or AP/AD problem, but it would be nice if the apps would open it like Preview does.

 

Thank you.

I'm afraid this PDF does not conform to the PDF standard. For example, it does not contain an "startxref". It does contain a mis-spelt "startref", but the value in it is nonsense. There are more problems with it later. Preview is more tolerant of these issues than Affinity.

 

If you open it in Preview and resave it, Affinity will then open the saved version.
