Frequently Asked Questions about Repair PDF - Advanced Damage Recovery

Can it fix 'File is not a valid PDF' errors?

Yes. These errors are often caused by corrupted file headers. Our tool performs a 'Deep Scan' to identify the original file structure and rewrite the binary header to make it readable again.

Will it recover images from a partial download?

If the image data exists in the file stream, our rebuilder will attempt to re-index the stream objects to salvage every possible asset from the broken file.

Is there a limit on how badly damaged a file can be?

As long as the core data hasn't been overwritten, our engine can often reconstruct the XRef table and page tree for files that standard readers simply refuse to open.

Is it safe to repair sensitive documents online?

With Convertify, yes. The repair logic runs entirely in your local browser memory. Your corrupted files are never uploaded to a server, keeping your data confidential even during recovery.
