Apple Books PDF Suddenly Not Opening I have a PDF that I’ve been using on a regular basis on my iPad. I opened it on my phone yesterday and it worked fine. Now all of a sudden it says ‘Cannot Open Document; Unable to open [file].” The same thing is happening on my iPad. I also tried importing it to the Files app in which it only shows the title and file size when I open it. I haven’t done anything besides read and highlight it.

The file extension needs to be .pdf and clearly it is not openable in Pages on any platform. If that PDF does not open in Adobe Reader for iPadOS, then it is a damaged PDF and nothing on earth will open it.
