right click over the file and ask for GET INFO

there go to the option OPEN WITH select the software PS and click on CHANGE ALL

Please LMK if that works

These files are out of camera Canon jpegs. Nothing change, nothing wrong with them.  Maybe somone else has an idea seen this bizarre hew PS bug.

Thanks Eugenio, seemed to self reslove anyway. But I'll  remember the get info trick.  Get info set to open jpegs with Preview, which is ok, I usually drop the jpeg onto the PS icon on dock and open, never see this before, " not valid PDF"

 

Went away, any idea why was occuring?

Hi, maybe is the extension, and possible solutions

change the name of your file using the .jpeg

How do you open the file, double click? or from PS>

Murrae24788705hyog, nothing is wrong. This is a perfectly normal warning. Read it carefully, and if you consider the PDF is from a "trustworthing source", as the message says, then open it.
