What it is

SysTools PDF Recovery repairs corrupted PDF files and saves recovered data into a new PDF rather than replacing the damaged source. It can recover text and images, as well as components such as forms, graphics, and hyperlinks. The vendor says its Advanced Scan can address severely corrupted files and that recovery preserves the original formatting. Batch repair and preview before saving are supported, and recovery is local on Windows or macOS. The software reads PDFs created by MS Office and files saved from printers. A demo previews restored PDFs; there is no free plan. The Personal License costs $29 as a one-time purchase for one computer and non-commercial home use, with one year of free updates. The Business License is $129 as a one-time purchase for up to 100 computers, and the Enterprise License is $399 as a one-time purchase for up to 500 computers and multiple company locations. The FAQ says Adobe Acrobat should be present on the recovery machine; export reports are marked Mac-only.
