Fonctionnement
How does this tool work?
The engine first attempts to read the damaged document and recover the PDF objects, page tree, references and metadata that are still accessible. It then rebuilds those recoverable structures into a new PDF instead of modifying the original file. This can resolve many structural inconsistencies caused by incomplete writes or malformed references, while keeping the operation entirely in your browser. Damage affecting data that is genuinely missing or unreadable cannot always be repaired.
