Frequently asked questions
Will this repair corrupted PDFs?
It re-saves and restructures PDFs, flattening forms and optionally rebuilding pages as images to bypass broken fonts. OCR can recover searchable text from scans.
Can it make a scanned PDF searchable?
Yes. Enable OCR and the tool recognizes page text and embeds an invisible text layer so you can search and select text.
Will flattening remove form interactivity?
Yes. Flattening turns form fields into static page content so they render consistently.
Are my files private?
Repair runs in the browser when possible; uploads for server fixes are discarded and not stored.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. You can fix or OCR a PDF on your phone or tablet with the same touch-friendly interface.
How long does PDF repair take?
Most fixes complete in seconds. Rebuilding a very large PDF or running OCR on hundreds of pages may take a minute or two.
