Frequently asked questions
Can every broken PDF be repaired?
No. Truncated files and bad cross-reference tables usually recover; files with destroyed page streams may not.
Does repair change the content?
It re-writes structures and may re-compress images; visible content stays the same.
The repaired file is larger — is that bad?
No, it is a clean rebuild with fresh image streams.
How do I fix a PDF that will not open or shows no pages?
Rebuild it with Ghostscript: it re-parses damaged cross-reference tables and objects. GekiPDF runs that repair and reports how many pages survived.
