Thanks for the solutions, for me the factor that labored was to reset Preview after which restart the OS. By resetting the Preview app I imply to delete all plists and caches.
Additionally few recommended to restart Finder, once I try this my entire system hangs and I can’t do something, not even shutdown/restart the OS, I’ve to resort to forcefully killing (shutdown) the system. Kindly let me know in case I am doing one thing mistaken.
