Answer 1

You may be able to extract the text from the file using a utility, such as PDF Recovery Toolbox http://www.pdf.recoverytoolbox.com/
Another possibility is that it is not actually a PDF file but is a min-named DOC file, or something.  Try to open the file using MSWORD.

Answer 2

Try to open it on a linux pc.

If it stl gives problems, use the mogrify command in linux, it has helped me be in situations like yours
