FAQ: fixing corrupted PDFs

Can all corrupted PDFs be repaired?
No tool can fix every file. If the PDF content is completely missing or overwritten, recovery is unlikely. But many “error opening this document” cases are repairable enough to read or print.
Do I need to install Adobe or other software?
No extra software is required to try FixMyFile.ai. You just need a modern web browser and an internet connection.
