Repair PDF

About this tool

  Rebuilds the PDF cross-reference table to restore object lookup.

• Truncation recovery

  Attempts to recover content from files that were cut short.

• Secure & private

Frequently asked questions

What kind of corruption can this tool fix?

The tool targets structural PDF issues such as a missing or damaged cross-reference table, incorrect object offsets, and truncated file endings. It cannot recover encrypted files without the password.

Will all pages be recovered?

Recovery depends on how severely the file is damaged. Lightly corrupted files are usually fully recoverable. Heavily damaged files may have some pages or objects missing in the output.

What if repair still fails?

If the tool cannot produce a valid PDF, it will return an error. In that case, the damage may be too extensive for automated repair — try a specialist PDF recovery tool.

Are my files stored on your servers?

Files are automatically deleted after the operation completes. We do not retain your documents.
