Can anyone look at the ‘properties’ of the attached PDFs to see what differences there are such that one can be opened by a proprietary PDF viewer and the other one cannot be opened by the same proprietary viewer unless a companion TIF file is present??

The PDF whose file name is CD4070.PDF was created by a Canon product called the CD-4070NW. This PDF can be opened by the CD-4070NW, which has a proprietary PDF viewer and the scanned pages can be viewed. This PDF can also be opened by any computer using the Adobe Reader.

The PDF whose file name is CD4050.PDF was created by an earlier Canon product called the CD-4050, which created in one scan operation both a PDF and a TIF, each of which will have the same file name with the respective extension. A PDF created by the earlier CD-4050 can be opened by the CD-4050 and the newer CD-4070NW, both of which have a proprietary viewer, and the scanned pages can be viewed, but only if the companion TIF is present. If you delete the TIF, neither the CD-4050 nor the CD-4070NW can open a PDF created by the CD-4050. Yet any computer using the free Adobe viewer can open a PDF created by the CD-4050 without the companion TIF.

Is there any way that we can change the ‘properties’ of a PDF created by a CD-4050 so that it will mimic a PDF created by the CD-4070NW, in order that a CD-4050 PDF can be opened by the CD-4070NW when the TIF companion is not present?

Thanks in advance for any help.
