Cannot view eps files anymore

I was working on my imac today and all of a sudden I cannot open any of my eps files. It says file is not supported or has been damaged. This message is popping up in the Acrobat reader box.

Adobe Acrobat Reader DC can only open PDFs. Apple dropped support for .eps and .ps files displaying in Finder, Quick Look, or Preview converting them to PDF in Monterey and later.


The free Skim PDF reader can open .eps and export them as PDF. Also, If you have the free LibreOffice, or Inkscape installed, they can open and convert .eps to PDF. The free GIMP will not for some reason, open my .eps files. The paid Affinity Designer/Designer 2 can open .eps and export to PDF. So can Graphic Converter 11 or 12.
