Error -5 while decompressing data: incomplete or truncated stream

I have the same issue with PDF files that can be opened with Acrobat properly. — Akira Okumura, Oct 06 '20 at 02:05

It mostly happens when you already opened pdf in different program or pdf is is corrupted. Try opening pdf with open()
