Does anyone have any recommendation or procedures for repairing a corrupt PDF? When I open the file I get "There was an error opening this document. the file is damaged and cannot be repaired." There seems to be a myriad of tools out there but none that I could describe as reputable. Are there any opensource linux based solutions for this possibly?

There are a multitude of options in this thread from Superuser that is eerily similar to your opening post, even the title is the same. :rolleyes:

There are a mixture of open source and linux programs listed, did you try any of them?
