Frequently Asked Questions
How do I repair a corrupted PDF?
Upload the damaged PDF and click Repair. If it can be rebuilt, download the repaired file.
Why won’t my PDF open?
Common causes are an interrupted download, a failed email attachment, a damaged drive or a bug in the app that created it.
Can every PDF be repaired?
No. Files that are badly truncated or overwritten may be beyond repair.
What does “The file is damaged and could not be repaired” mean?
Adobe Reader couldn’t read the structure. Try repairing here — it uses a different engine.

Everything readable is recovered; missing data can’t be recreated.
