  I suspect the file is just plain corrupted 🙁

  Try opening with Acrobat, and experiment.
  Try running it through Distiller.
  Try opening with Photoshop.

  Here’s Adobe’s troubleshooting info for this issue: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-illustrator-files.html

  Is it possible that the PDF file format is to new for your version of illustrator to import? Which version of illustrator is it?
