Fixing Broken PDFs

PDFs can get corrupted during download or email transfer.

Symptoms

• Blank pages.
• Error messages like "Format error: not a PDF".
• Missing images.

Solutions

1. Redownload: Often it's just a partial download.
2. Use Repair Tool: Our Repair PDF tool attempts to rebuild the file header and structure to salvage readable content.
3. Text Recovery: If the visual formatting is gone, try extracting the raw text using PDF to Text.
