unable to open PDF files with characters before %PDF
I have been happily using Irfanview for many years.
Several pdf files, generated by and downloaded from my utility provider will not open in either Irfanview 32 or 64 bit 4.44 versions with the latest 9.20 ghostscript and DLL versions.
When inspected in Wordpad, header shows characters before the %PDF designator. I tried deleting them and then view blank white page(s)
I can view these same files in Reader, Chrome or Edge without error.
Programs have been uninstalled and reinstalled. Is this a ghostscript error? If the file headers are non standard, why is it readable in other viewers?
