Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of corruption does this fix?

Broken cross-reference (xref) tables, partial downloads with extra junk after %%EOF, missing trailers, and minor invalid-object errors. It does NOT recover content that's actually missing — if a page's stream is gone, no tool can bring it back.

Will it work on every broken PDF?

No. Severely corrupt files (missing root, encryption gone wrong, truncated mid-stream) may be unrecoverable. The tool will say so explicitly rather than producing junk output.

Does my file get uploaded?

No. Repair runs entirely in your browser via pdf-lib. The file never leaves your device.
