Even if your reader will not open it, Plicum still tries to read it.
The internal indexes are recomposed and the pages that are still intact are recovered.
You get the recovered document and check how many pages are readable again.
The file does not leave your device. Thirty-two tools out of thirty-eight.
No, and it would be wrong to promise it: it depends on how much of the file is still there. If pages have been overwritten or truncated, that content no longer exists anywhere and no tool can invent it. Plicum recovers what is still readable and tells you how much that is.
No: the recovery attempt happens in the browser, on your device. A damaged document is often just as confidential as an intact one, and there is no reason to make it travel.
It depends on the kind of protection. If the PDF opens without asking anything, Plicum tries to repair it normally. If it asks for a password, without that the content is not readable even to repair it: there Unlock PDF comes first.
It opens in your browser, nothing to install. Five operations a day are free, with no payment details.
