That message has nothing to do with a Preview or PDFs. If that 
particular warning comes up especially with Mountain Lion (OSX.8.x) and 
Mavericks Mavericks (OSX.9.x) That can be safely ignored. Each time they 
update the Disk Utilities they end up messing something up so at least 
one or two things give out false messages.

If do the same thing going to Recovery disk You'll see the same message.

I would suggest downloading Adobe Reader (Free) to view PDF's  And see 
if the files are corrupt. Preview has a terrible habit of corrupting PDF 
and absolutely destroys Forms. Just the act of opening a PDF form and 
closing it will absolute damage a form.

Try going to Recovery Disk (Restart with ⌘-R) Try repairing The Drive 
and the Repair permissions. Don't bother verifying. When you choose 
repair, if doesn't fix anything its verifying anyway.

If it fixes the Hard Drive run it again. If the second time around it 
says its okay you good to go. Do the Drive repair first before the 
permissions.
