Repair PDF for recruiters
Updated July 2026
Arthize lets recruiting and talent teams repair a corrupted PDF in a private workspace — free, with no watermark. Repairing a PDF rebuilds a damaged file's internal structure, recovering as much readable content as possible from a document that won't open.
Why recruiters repair a corrupted PDF
A recruiter merges shortlisted resumes into one packet for the hiring manager, redacts contact details for a blind first review, and sends the offer letter for signature.
Built for resumes. Whether it's resumes, shortlists, offer letters, Arthize's repair pdf keeps the work inside your private workspace. Candidate data is personal; a private workspace keeps resumes and notes confidential.
What matters when you repair a corrupted PDF
Repair rebuilds a PDF's cross-reference table and object structure.
It can recover files that won't open due to interrupted downloads or transfers.
Recovery depends on how much of the file is intact.
