PDF repair and recovery tool

Stellar Repair for PDF is a premium utility tool for desktop made by developer Stellar Data Recovery. It’s a professional file repair program that was created specifically to help users fix corrupted PDF files and be able to open them again. It supports format revisions from 1.2 to 1.7.

Just like with Recovery Toolbox for PDF or File Repair, Stellar Repair for PDF is able to restore content contained within a PDF, as well as the option to extract media files. After its free trial period, users can opt to avail a one-purchase option to continue using the tool.

How do I go about using it?

PDF is the go-to file format today, whether for professional use or personal needs. This is thanks to its flexibility to handle not just text and images, but also hyperlinks, graphs, and even video and audio. With this amount of content, there will be times when they can get corrupted due to mishandling or just bad luck, and this is where Stellar Repair for PDF comes in.

To start using Stellar Repair for PDF, browse for the file that you want or simply drag-and-drop it into the main window—stored locally or from an external storage device. After that, just click on the Repair button and it will do the rest for you. It will offer a preview of the repaired file’s content, wherein you can also select the ones you want to recover only.

What’s more, it supports batch processing so you can add multiple files for convenience and save time. Now, a couple of things to note before you go ahead and test it out. The first is that it does not support encrypted files. The second is that the free trial won’t be able to save them. It’s a feature reserved for the paid version only.

Handy and straightforward

If you’re looking for a tool to repair or recover parts of a corrupted PDF, Stellar Repair for PDF can help. It’s easy to use, recognizes various content inside your file, and can process multiple ones for you. You do need the paid version to be able to save them, but if you don’t mind shelling out, this is a solid option to consider.
