The File can not be read due to an error

Here is the solution.   I had assests placed into a document...some were placed png's and some were created with the pen tool in the document.  I figured out that one of the assets was corrupting the file. So you will need to find that asset.  I opened a new document and placed each asset in one at a time.  After each one, I attempted to export the jpg.....didn't have a problem until I got to the asset...the one created with the pen tool.  I had used a pattern fill for those images and then put a stylized inner glow on them......that inner glow was corrupting my file.  Problem solved!

if there is some issue in file due to corrupt liks consider upgrating illustrator to a version above 24.1..

there have been fixes to ignore the corrupt links.

Can you export the jpeg to a tiff in Mac Preview and Place the tiff into Illustrator?

Or save as in PS to a tiff?

There are flavors of JPG that Illustrator can't open.

Open it in Photoshop and try and re-save it from there.
