Fix Broken PDFs – Repair, OCR & Flatten

Repair corruption, flatten forms, and make scanned PDFs searchable with OCR. Works on mobile, private by design.

Common failures we address

  • Corrupted object streams, cross-reference issues (soft fix via re-save).
  • Missing or substituted fonts (work around with image rebuild).
  • Interactive forms that don’t render properly (flatten to static content).
  • Scanned documents with no text layer (OCR to make searchable).

Frequently asked questions

Will this repair corrupted PDFs?

It re-saves and restructures PDFs, flattening forms and optionally rebuilding pages as images to fix broken fonts.

Can it make a scanned PDF searchable?

Yes. Enable OCR to add an invisible text layer and make a scanned PDF searchable.

Will flattening remove form interactivity?

Flattening turns form fields into static page content so they render consistently.

Are my files private?

Repairs run in your browser when possible; uploads for server-side fixes are discarded after processing.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. You can fix or OCR PDFs on a phone or tablet with the same touch-friendly interface.

How long does PDF repair take?

Most repairs finish in seconds, though rebuilding or OCRing hundreds of pages may take a minute or two.
