Repair a PDF file

A file that refuses to open, or shows a corruption error? Many of those cases are structural, not content damage: a broken index, corrupt objects, an interrupted save. We re-read the file leniently and write a structurally clean copy of its pages. What we cannot do is recover content that is not in the file at all.

Frequently asked questions

What does this actually fix?

The file's structure: broken cross-reference tables, corrupt object streams, and the leftovers of an interrupted save, the most common causes of a file that will not open. Missing content, or a file whose end was cut off, cannot be invented back.

My file is password-protected. Can it be repaired?

Unlock it first with the unlock tool if you know the password, then repair it. An encrypted file cannot be rebuilt while it is locked.

I tried and it still will not open. What now?

The file is most likely truncated: moved or downloaded incompletely. Try getting a fresh copy from its source. Not every kind of damage is repairable, and we do not claim otherwise.
