3-Heights PDF Analysis & Repair Tool vs Fix.Video

3-Heights PDF Analysis & Repair Tool analyzes damaged PDF documents and attempts to repair or recover their contents. It inspects objects, page trees, and content streams, then can report error types, codes, descriptions, page numbers, and event counts, with messages written to a log. Repair options include restoring data streams, fonts, cross-reference tables, pages, and images; recovery can rebuild a PDF from legible content that remains. It reads encrypted PDFs and can encrypt restored files with permission flags. Inputs include PDF 1.x, PDF 2.0, and PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2, and PDF/A-3; the manuals cite ISO 32000-1 and ISO 32000-2 conformance. Pdftools documents Shell command-line and API variants, with Windows, Linux, and macOS support and local repair delivery. Batch repair is supported. The product is paid, with pricing on request and a 30-day trial. The evaluation version analyzes files but disables Save As, so repaired or recovered files cannot be saved or viewed without the full version. The vendor cautions that some files and image compression methods cannot be recovered.

Fix.Video is an online service for repairing corrupted, truncated, unreadable and damaged video files. It lists MP4, MOV, M4V, 3GP, ProRes, RSV and MXF video formats, with M4A also listed on its upload page. The service says it can recover high-definition video from cameras and devices including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic, Blackmagic, GoPro, iPhone, Android devices, dashcams and DJI drones. Listed damage scenarios include battery failure, crashes, water damage, hard landings, shocks, falls, camera shutdowns and defective SD cards. Uploads can be previewed, and paid repair plans list unlimited duration and file size with engineer support. A ten-file repair plan costs $59 as a one-time purchase; 25 files cost $79 as a one-time purchase, and one month of access costs $99 a month. Repair is not guaranteed, and the terms say refunds are not offered whether content is repaired or recovered. Uploaded videos are automatically deleted after five days and are not shared; viewing requires prior permission. Separate downloads include offline MP4 and MOV repair software, a free re-encoder and a read-only memory card recovery tool.
