I guess these apparent PDF books are scanned images and ALL these readers have trouble opening them. They only work when OCR converted, but the only OCR conversion software which works is the k2PDFOPT....I have tried ABBYY and Nitro.

I had a copy of Acrobat 10 that I got with my Scansnap, but somehow the disk got replaced, and when I re-built my PC I lost the use of it. That's why I use that other program to "optimize" the file as they all it. I have it much easier than you as I'm scanning books with simple english text, and although I do have ABBYY as well, it's crap for my purposes. So is K2PDFOPT, which uses Tesseract for the OCR. Even scans with perfect "normal" fonts do not get clean enough OCR output for me. I don't want to spend hours correcting 1000 book scans with an average of 400 pages. This means the file will be smaller for me, and less complex for a reader to digest. I don't know how much harder the embedded OCR is for the reader, but this could be the difference.
For me, PDF files in the 7MB or smaller range work well, but the original scans at 30MB and larger do not. If your files are in that small range and still don't work, I guess the OCR may be to blame. If they are in that larger group, maybe not. I also do scans in black and white BTW.
