Troubleshooting tips
- If a file fails to repair, try repairing a copy or splitting the PDF and repairing sections.
- For password-protected PDFs, remove the password (if you have it) before repair or use a version that supports encrypted files.
- If images or fonts are missing, try exporting to a different format (e.g., images) if the tool offers it.
- Update the software to the latest version for improved compatibility.
When repair may fail
- Severely truncated files with missing critical headers or cross-reference tables.
- Files heavily altered by malware or nonstandard PDF generators.
- DRM-protected PDFs where decryption is blocked.
Aftercare
- Keep repaired files backed up.
- If recurring corruption occurs, check storage media health and run disk diagnostics.
