Hi @turki_6827

Additionally, to what @Bernd Alheit has suggested.

Launch Google Chrome using Cmd/Ctrl + O, locate the file, and open it in Chrome. If the file renders fine then the issue might be related to Reader.

However, considering the error message, it seems the file has gone bad. If possible, please share the file with us, and we will review it and share our observations.
