PDF Fixer is a free software tool that repairs corrupt PDF files by restructuring the damaged data and rebuilding XREF tables. It recovers PDF documents that other tools like PDFTK and Ghostscript cannot fix.

PDFs are a binary-coded format that is generated by virtual printing of various files. Because most of the data in PDFs is compressed, editing them with a text editor can result in data errors or loss due to network instability during transfer. This is where PDF Fixer comes in.
PDF Fixer is a free PDF repair utility that can fix corrupt PDF files by restructuring the damaged PDF data, rebuilding XREF tables, and recovering those PDF documents.
