What kinds of PDF problems can this fix?

It rebuilds PDFs with a broken or incomplete file structure — the "damaged file" or "can't open" errors many PDF readers show. If the file is too severely damaged to parse at all, it falls back to rebuilding the PDF from page images so you still get a working file.

Will the repaired PDF still have selectable text?

In most cases, yes — the primary repair keeps your original text and layout intact. Only if the file is too damaged for that does it fall back to page images, where text is no longer selectable.

Yes, completely free, and the file is processed in your browser rather than uploaded to a server.
