PDF File Repair

Fixes damaged files — and garbled copy/paste text

A PDF that looks fine but copies or pastes as garbled text (black diamond question marks) usually has missing fonts or a broken /ToUnicode mapping. This tool repairs the file structure and fills in the font mappings, restoring copyable text and pages as far as possible.

Pdf Repair

PDF only; the original file is never modified.

Repairs unopenable files, wrong page counts, damaged structure, and garbled copy/extract text (missing fonts, broken /ToUnicode).

How to use
Repair PDFs that will not open, have a wrong page count or are reported as damaged; also repair files that display fine but copy/extract as garbled text (missing fonts or a broken /ToUnicode mapping): rebuild the file structure and page tree and fill in font mappings so pages and copyable text are recovered as far as possible.
After uploading a PDF, just click “Start processing”; this page has no other options. Download the new file when done; the original is never modified.
Pages whose content is truly damaged may not be recoverable; if the font is missing and no reference font with the same name can be found, garbled text may not be fully fixed. If the file has an open password, enter and verify it first.
