How to repair a PDF

  2. 2Repair. The file is parsed and written out again.
  3. 3If this page also rejects it, the file is too damaged to rebuild here.

Questions

Will missing pages come back?

No. Repair rewrites what can still be read. A truncated download stays truncated.

Should I repair before something else?

If another tool says the file could not be read, try repair and then run that tool on the new file.
