Dear all |
| 2 |
What is your experience with corrupted PDF files? Do you know any tool |
| 3 |
that can attempt to repair damaged PDF files? Does it make any sense |
| 4 |
to edit a PDF file in hex mode? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have a damaged PDF that cannot be opened with any of the about 10 |
| 7 |
tools that I've just tried. |

Any ideas how I could try to repair it? (It's not sensitive and it's |
| 37 |
small, so I could post it.) I tried pdftk, but it also fails. |
