Repair a PDF that shows an error, won't open, or opens with pages missing. Most damage - an interrupted download, a broken file index, extra bytes added by an email client or a web server - leaves the pages themselves intact, and rebuilding the file's structure brings them back. You'll see exactly which pages were recovered before you download anything.

Frequently asked questions

No. If part of the file is physically missing - for example the last half of an interrupted download - the pages stored in that part are gone and no tool can bring them back. The report tells you exactly which pages were recovered and which weren't.

Errors came up while reading that page, but some of its text or images survived. Check it - parts such as a font, a picture or a paragraph may be missing.

The file opened and every page read without errors, so the problem is most likely the app you're opening it in. Try a web browser, or a different PDF viewer.

Not this tool - it repairs PDF files only.

No. An encrypted PDF can't be checked or rewritten without its password. Remove the password with Protect PDF first.

Your upload is deleted as soon as it has been checked. The repaired copy is kept only until you download it, then deleted; if you never download it, it is removed automatically within a few hours.
