I updated to Sonoma on my iMac Pro and now cannot use any pdf files . how do I correct this?

Upon updating to Sonoma I have had problems with integrating my Word files and Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop. Some worked but most freeze the program

The pdf's will not open even if I drop them into Preview

iMac Pro, macOS 14.0

Adobe AcRobat Reader - "could not open" file My Certified Apple tech recently needed to remove my old MacBook Air (13" - 2017) OS system and replaced it with a new MacOS Monterey 12.6.6. Problem. All of my files created using the old 'Pages" can no longer be opened by Adobe Acrobat Reader (which came with the new OS system) by reason quote: "Adobe Acrobat Reader could not open files 'pages' 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). The new OS system does not have the very convenient 'Pages' option - for whatsoever reason? Any suggestions please as to how I can once again open those previously generated 'Pages' documents? Thank you

Latex created pdf cannot open in MacBook Pro. I cannot open the pdf file created by Overleaf. The system showed: The file xxxx could not be open. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I want know how to solver this problem.

Pages on Mac Mini won't open iMac file: "File Format Invalid" I created a Pages v13.1 doc on my iMac 2017 and saved it to my public folder. My Mac Mini 2023 sees the file but Pages v13.1 won't open it saying "ZZ" Can't be opened right now. The file format is invalid. The file can be opened on my iMac 2013 and Pages v11.1 I experience the same issue with Numbers and Key Note documents. The Mac Mini will open jpg and pdf files.

Hi,

Just wonder what would happen if you open PDF files on Safari.

As for other applications, you would need to wait till application companies will release updaters.
