Acrobat Reader 8 is really old, and can't open PDF version 1.8 files, although it can open up to PDF 1.7.
Edited to add: As of Catalina, Macs do not run 32-bit applications, and I think that Reader 8 is definitely in that category.
Why use such an old version, anyway? You can download the latest version of Acrobat Reader DC (still free), which is available here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/

There is no such thing as PDF 1.8!!!! 🙄
There is PDF 1.7 and then PDF 2.0 (which isn't yet implemented officially in any Adobe products!)

This is what I get for looking up info on Wikipedia.

Also, moving this to the Acrobat Reader forum, which is the more appropriate forum for your question.
