How to: step-by-step

  1. Keep the damaged original and select a working copy.
  2. Run Repair PDF.
  3. Download the repaired file if processing succeeds.
  4. Open it in a PDF reader and check the first, last and previously problematic pages.

Tips for better results

  • Compare the page count before and after repair.
  • Try obtaining a fresh copy from the source if repair fails.

Common pitfalls

  • A successful download does not prove every page was recovered.
  • Repair cannot recreate missing pages or unreadable scan detail.

Before you finish

Repair is a best-effort rewrite. Severely corrupted or incomplete files may remain unusable.
