The problem is that Skim or Preview will only allow you to read text PDF
files. As Sarah said, most likely, one system might be performing OCR on the
file which is allowing you to read it.
Image Capture on the Macm for example, will scan to an image file.
However, some scanners do have software that will do OCR and generate a text
PDF.

Thank you. Both parties do niot have OcR. I am not sure how to check if the
Epson WF 2540 has built in OCR.
