Repair PDF: what it is and when to use it

Try to rebuild a document with errors so you can open it again.

Repairing a PDF tries to rebuild a file that will not open or shows errors. Often the damage is in the internal structure and the content can still be rescued.

Rayo PDF GO rewrites the document cleanly on your device. It is not always possible to recover a badly damaged file.

Common uses

Open PDFs that give an error when loading.
Recover documents from incomplete downloads.
Normalize files with an odd structure.
Prepare a PDF for other tools.

Tips for better results

Try the original file if you have another copy.
If the file was incomplete, it cannot be completed.
Save the result under a different name.
