Recursive finder of corrupted PDF files

Since they are compact, relatively small and can be accessed from most devices, PDF files are one of the most widely used formats to share documents.

Recursive finder of corrupted PDF files is a tiny utility that enables you to scan for corrupted files in order to send them to Recycle bin or move them to a designated folders and try to recover them.

The application comes with a minimalistic, yet not too shabby interface. More exactly, the UI consists of a main window where you can select the folder you want to search for corrupted PDF files.

Once the scan is complete, the results are displayed using various colors that redirect your attention to the files that are under password encryption or those that may be corrupted.

It is necessary to mention that the algorithm used to detect corrupted files is not perfected and this is why you can view results indicating that a certain file may be corrupted.

While you can open any of the files listed to check their content, the application only provides you with 2 options, namely delete or move them to a certain folder. It would be useful if the program allowed you to remove the actual corrupted files directly, instead of having to access its folder for this purpose.

It would be nice if it gave you some information about the damaged files detected, so you can find and open them on other devices, in case you have saved copies. Lastly, because it does not come with a recover corrupted PDF file function, the application seems incomplete.

By far the most common reason why a PDF file gets corrupted is that it has been created with a substandard converter or editor. Given that these files can be accessed with most devices out there, it goes without saying that this can happen anytime.

Recursive finder of corrupted PDF files is an app that can help you scan for corrupted files regularly, so you can try to recover or delete them.
