PDF files not showing up on Mac

I was given a USB drive with 21 PDF files from a workshop I attended.

All the PDF files showed up and could be open on a PC.

However, when I tried to open the USB drive on my MacBook, some files were "missing", only 6 were showing and working.

I checked the same USB drive on a PC after this and all 21 files were there.

I tried formatting the USB drive to ExFAT (originally it was MS-DOS (FAT))and nothing changed.

I've already tried to show hidden files but none of the missing files show up.

I copied the files from the PC and to a new USB drive that I have been using on both Mac and PC without any issue and the same files are "missing" when I plug it in my Mac.

I have absolutely no clue about what is going on.

I'm working on a MacBook Pro Retina with macOS Sierra 10.12.6.

Can anybody help me with this?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), null
