Information
Cross-reference table rebuilding
Rebuilds broken or corrupted XRef table indices and byte offsets from scratch, resolving unopenable document errors in Adobe Acrobat.
Header & trailer stream repair
Scans for missing '%PDF-' magic bytes and restores missing '%%EOF' markers caused by interrupted or partial network downloads.
Object dictionary sanitization
Parses surviving page dictionaries, embedded vector glyphs, and image streams into a newly compiled, standards-compliant PDF file.
Permissive deep WebAssembly engine
Unlike standard PDF viewers that abort on minor syntax errors, our engine uses tolerant parsing to rescue as much data as possible.
100% in-browser confidentiality
Damaged tax receipts, invoices, and sensitive documents are processed purely in client memory without uploading bytes to cloud servers.
Zero software installation
No expensive desktop utilities required. Repair and restore damaged PDF files directly on mobile, Mac, Windows, or Linux browsers.
