Without much other information to go on, I'd guess you're using Preview?

If so, it is way behind PDF standards and often fails to properly display PDFs. Use Adobe's free Acrobat Reader DC instead.

Damaged PDF on preview The file “BOOK Lindhe 6th Edition.pdf” could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize. This just happened to a file I'm trying to open, how can I repair this file??
