carboxylic acid straight to aldehyde with H2/Pdc??

[whatisit350]

Hi guys, I was just reading through my ocher notes and I had a reaction that showed a carboxylic acid going straight to an aldehyde under H2 with Pd/C. Couldnt really find any info on the google web. did i write that wrong in my notes? or is that right??

I think Pd/C only reduces alkenes and alkynes.
Sorry, I forgot most of my ochem after taking the DAT 🙂
