Notes

What can this repair?

It can often recover PDFs with leading junk, appended HTML, missing final EOF markers, bad startxref offsets, broken classic xref tables, and some damaged stream lengths. It cannot recreate content that is truly missing from a truncated file.

Are files uploaded?

No. File bytes stay in the browser. URL loading uses the browser Fetch API and works only when the remote server allows CORS.
