- Select the damaged PDF file.
- Press Repair PDF. The repaired PDF downloads to your device.
Questions
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. The file is read and repaired inside your browser tab and is never sent to a server.
Is the text still selectable?
Usually yes. Auto keeps the text when the file can be rebuilt. If it cannot, choose Redraw pages as pictures, and the text is not kept.
Why are some pages blank?
A page that the browser cannot draw is left blank. Other pages are still repaired.
Can a password-protected PDF be repaired?
Not directly. Unlock it first on the PDF Password page, then repair it here.
