Attempt to read a damaged PDF using a tolerant parser, then rebuild its objects, page tree and cross-reference structure in your browser. Recovery depends on the damage. Missing content cannot be recreated, and a readable result is not a guarantee of complete recovery.
When to use this tool
Attempt to rebuild a PDF with damaged object references or a broken cross-reference structure.
Get started in three steps
- Choose your PDF file from your device.
- Keep the original. Review every recovered page, bookmark and form before using the result. Password-protected files must be unlocked first.
- Select Repair PDF, review the result and download your file.
A practical example
Try Repair on a copy of a PDF that your reader reports as structurally damaged. The tolerant parser attempts to rebuild objects, the page tree and cross-reference information.
Check the result
Compare the recovered page count with any known original and inspect every page, bookmark and form. A file that opens can still be missing content that was absent from the damaged input.
If the result is not right
If recovery fails, request another original or restore a backup. Repair cannot recreate lost images or text. Unlock an encrypted document with its authorized password before trying structural recovery.
Before you download
Can repair restore missing pages or content?
A tolerant parser can recover some damaged structures, but it cannot recreate content that is absent. Compare the repaired output with an original or trusted backup.
Where is my document processed?
