How to Fix a Corrupted PDF?

  1. Upload: Select the PDF file that refuses to open or shows errors.
  2. Repair: Click "Repair PDF". Our tool will attempt to rebuild the internal XREF table and file structure.
  3. Download: Save the recovered file and try opening it in your PDF viewer.

Why do PDFs get corrupted?

Files can become damaged due to interrupted downloads, hard drive errors, or software crashes during saving. This often results in a "File is damaged and could not be repaired" error in Adobe Reader or blank pages appearing when opening the document.

FAQ: PDF Repair

Can it fix every file?

It depends on the extent of the damage. If the internal text data is deleted, we cannot bring it back. However, if the "header" or "index" is broken, we can usually fix it so the file opens again.

Is it free?

Yes, our recovery tool is free to use.

Is it safe?

Yes. We process the repair locally on your device. We do not see your damaged files.
