You can try this app - PDF Repair Toolbox. The tool reads corrupted PDF files and saves all recovered information to a new file for Adobe Reader/Adobe Acrobat.

This message is usually an indication that your file is indeed corrupt. Without analyzing the file, it's imposed to say what's wrong with it. I would complain to the makers of Foxit about this.
