It may just happen that you have to deal with a broken PDF file. The damage may have been incurred in transit, but an edit-and-save operation could have gone wrong. Well, what to do then? Computer! Fortunately, Total knows what to do.
Visit the webpage www.bit.ly/viewcorpdf to download and install the Corrupt PDF Viewer tool. You can also find a portable version of this software there. Immediately after installing and launching Corrupt PDF Viewer, you can traffic jam and Open choose to open a supplied sample file (read: a broken PDF). If you do that, you will of course immediately take a look at the location of that sample file, because of course you don’t take anything for granted.
Then grab Windows Explorer and visit that location. You can guess: the PDF opens in the default PDF app and concludes that the sample file cannot be opened. Yes, believing is good, but checking is better!
Broken PDF
The next step is to read that broken PDF using Corrupt PDF Viewer. The result (obviously) is a PDF file that can still – reasonably – be opened and displayed neatly. And that’s not all, because via the button Save As can save the damaged PDF file opened and rendered viewable this way as an undamaged PDF file; as far as that is possible of course … And you also check this action with the help of the PDF app that has been set as default and you notice sufficiently that Corrupt PDF Viewer does what the program promises.
More possibilities
But that doesn’t stop you as far as Corrupt PDF Viewer is concerned, because the program has some more features that might be of interest to you. This way you can view the opened PDF, where you can zoom, rotate (also per individual page) and so on. When printing, you can adjust the margins to eliminate unnecessary white space. If there are really damaged, unreadable pages in the file, you can delete them. A kind of cleaning round. You can also save the opened PDF as separate PNG pages in an adjustable resolution. Well, all that makes Corrupt PDF Viewer a program that you want to have installed by default as part of the applications you use every day.
