PDFs are not "opened", but imported. Meaning: It can fail.

Did you save the PDF from Illustrator? With "Illustrator editing capabilities"?

Hi

It originated as a PDF. I used to be able to 'open' and choose Illustrator. That failed. I have tried saving as a .ai file but there is no option to do that on Creative Cloud's version of Adobe Acrobat.

Where did it originate? In Illustrator?

Illustrator does not "open" PDFs. PDF is not a native file format for Illustrator.

Illustrator is not a general purpose PDF editor.
