I have a Debian 12 setup running on a desktop PC.

I am trying to list my PDF files using the ls command.

I ran 

ls  *.pdf

and received the error message 

Invalid option '--K'

No files were listed.

I subsequently ran other ls commands such as

ls *.doc

ls *.txt

and those commands ran as expected.

Why are my PDF files not listed ?

Maybe you have an alias of which you're not aware, that's doing something weird? Try `alias` and see what it returns.
