Fixing Corrupt PDFs from Gmail?

So I've been applying to schools. blah blah blah

I got some decisions in email, but I CANNOT open the stupid PDF files. I've tried at least FIVE different programs to fix corrupt files (Advanced PDF Repair, Kernel for PDF Repair, PDF Repair Toolbox, Stellar Phoenix PDF Recovery, etc.)

I read that there are problems with Gmail f***ing things up. How do I fix this? It's annoying the s*** out of me right now. I can't even open the PDF in another email service (like Comcast, Outlook, etc.)

Update:

I guess my edit was deleted here (wth?).

Sorry, Fred. I had edited it before to say that I have the latest version of Adobe Reader. I upgraded it when I couldn't open my files... I thought it might be that, but it's not..

    They are either created with a faulty editor, or you do not not have the correct version of Adobe reader. You can not fix them if they are corrupt. And they do NOT open in the email program, you need to use a program like adobe reader for that.
