PDF is damaged and cannot be opened

All of a sudden all of my PDFs cannot be opened. When I tries to reinstall the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC program I get a message that the AcroRdrDC_... is damaged and can't be opened.

opening pdf files on macOS running High Sierra version 10.13.6 For the last few days I cannot open PDF files with Acrobat Reader. Just keep getting a note telling me that this file cannot be opened etc. Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open 'Statement_11Jan2020.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). this problem is with all pdf files on my mac and which have opened in the past without any problems. I've tried removing and then re-installing without success. I have the same problem on 2 iPads and iPhone.

Adobe is not an Apple product. Please contact the developers or consider using Preview for reading your PDF.
