PDF Document - Repair

Repairs PDF files which contain minor errors.

Remarks

The Repair command attempts to fix structural or content errors in the attached PDF Document for a Batch Folder.

• If the PDF contains minor errors (such as missing objects, cross-reference issues, or invalid streams), the command will attempt to repair the file in place.
• If the PDF cannot be repaired directly and is enabled, the command will rasterize each page to an image and reconstruct a new PDF from the rendered images. This ensures that even severely damaged or non-standard PDFs can be recovered, though text and interactive features may be lost.
• The repaired or rasterized PDF replaces the original attachment on the Batch Folder.

Usage Scenarios

• Use this command when a PDF cannot be opened, viewed, or processed due to corruption or format errors.
• Enable to recover content from PDFs that cannot be repaired structurally, at the cost of converting pages to images.
• Typical in workflows where PDFs are received from unreliable sources or legacy systems.

This command is available from the context menu of a Batch Folder with a PDF Document attachment.

Rasterization	PDF Render Settings	►	When enabled, attempts to rasterize unreadable PDF documents as a fallback if direct repair fails. ConverterOn Off Converter Can be one of the following types: Value Description Enabled Disabled Specifies the rendering settings to use if the PDF cannot be repaired directly. If set, and the PDF is unrecoverable by structural repair, each page will be rendered to an image at the specified resolution and color format, and a new PDF will be created from these images. This process preserves visual content but may remove text searchability, bookmarks, and interactive features. Leave unset (null) to disable rasterization fallback; only direct repair will be attempted. Example: Enable rasterization with a resolution of 300 DPI to maximize image quality for downstream OCR or archival. For more information on PDF rendering and rasterization, see PDF rendering.
