Description

We create a software that enables users to download pdf files with a custom qrcode. To add the qrcode to the pdf file we use pdfbox (relevant code will be attached in a file). We now encounter files somtimes that get obviously changed by pdf box (we see that in the size of the file and also when using tools like winmerge), but the QR-Code does not show on the resulting file.

So far we saw that all files had in common that they were pdf's of version 1.6, created via AutoCAD with the producer pdfplot12.hdi.

We are currently talking to our customer to release the document for testing.
