file doesn't exist

My computer recently updated and now I am unable to open certain files saved to my documents folder. Specifically, two Numbers documents and a Pages document. When I try to open them I get this message:

Very frustrating since the file very much does exist and can be seen by finder and moved around as usual. WTF?

Mac mini, macOS 10.14

You have done the following, correct?

Not running a beta of macOS?
Right-clicked on the particular document and chose Open with the appropriate default application?
Chose Open from the respective application file menu, navigated to the document in question with the file chooser, and chose Open?
Drag and dropped the document onto the application icon in the Dock?
Have {Pages,Numbers} v10.1 for Mojave, and v10.2 for Catalina (if now installed)?
You have booted into Safe Boot mode, attempted to open the document? Rebooted normally, and tried to open it again?
- Does the file open correctly in Safe Boot mode, but not following a normal boot?
