PDF Repair Toolbox is software for recovering information from corrupted PDF files and saving it to a new file for Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. It is available as a Windows desktop program and through an online recovery option. The desktop wizard guides users through selecting a PDF, repairing it and saving the result. The maker says the program works with all PDF versions, including complex structures, and can restore pages that are no longer linked in a damaged file. It also scans for links to media objects obscured by corruption or file deletion. Users can preview recovered content, select an output PDF version, and save as compressed or uncompressed. A detailed recovery log appears at the end of the process. A freeware version is available without additional restrictions; the maker asks users to donate. Paid licenses are listed at 25.00 USD per once for personal use, 39.00 USD per once for business use, and 49.00 USD per once for up to 100 devices. Online recovery is listed at 101.00 USD per once, billed per 1 Gb. Password-protected and encrypted PDFs are not supported.
