Open Corrupt PDF Files Quickly with Corrupt PDF Viewer

PDF files, just  like any other files stored on your hard drive, are susceptible to corruption and damage. There are so many reasons because of which the PDF files can become corrupt. For example, power failure can cause your desktop computer to shutdown before the operating system could finalize the changes made to the file system which may end up resulting data corruption.

If your PDF files have become corrupt for any reason, they can still be viewed or opened using a freeware tool called Corrupt PDF Viewer. It is a small tool that enables users to open and view damaged PDF files on Windows instantly. It is available in both installer and portable version.
