I received an error message which stated "Adobe Reader could not open pdf because it is not a supported file type or has been damaged" when opening PDF files, while using Adobe Reader Acrobat DC and while using another PDF reader program. I changed file associations and that did not work. I have used Adobe Acrobat Reader DC in the past and had no issues opening documents until recently. I did not want to reinstall another program. So I simply repaired the program and I was able to open PDF documents with no issues.
