I followed the steps but it says "Junk File" under status and I'm not able to preview. What can I do?

Dear Jorge,

Software shows file as junk when header of the file is corrupted.

Please let us know the reason for corruption of this file to assist you further.

Have a large PDF which shows up as Encrypted. I am unable to select it or highlight the file to preview and Save. The file DOES have a password on it.
