Free Online Repair PDF
Rescue a PDF that will not open or says it is damaged. The tool rebuilds the file and tells you how many pages it could save. Your file stays on your device. Try this when a PDF shows an error, opens blank or stops halfway. The tool rebuilds the file, keeps the pages it can read and tells you which ones it saved.
How to fix a corrupt PDF
Drop the damaged PDF in the box and press Repair PDF. You will see what was recovered. Not every file can be saved, for example a file that was cut off early.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a file with no readable pages to come back: if nothing can be read, the tool says so.
- Repairing a file that has a password: remove the password first.
