    The file may be corrupt.  There are some downloads on the web for programs that try to fix broken layers files.   I would first copy the bad file and try to fix the copy. You could upload the file to file sharing service like dropbox and post a link to it so other can test if they can open the file.

    Here is the link I put the files in dropbox? I don’t know how to reply back on the forum? First time…

    You may be in luck.  The file has no extension.  So  I gave it one .PSD Photoshop stated wrong.  So I looked into the file the first thing I saw was PDF.  I never save PDF file from Photoshop so  I changed the file extension to .pdf Photoshop said
