Scan a folders/subfolders for PDF files to find the corrupt/unreadable one?

Hi...

We have archive share with 400.000 pdfs in many subfolders. Some of them is corrupted or unreadable. Need some way to find this pdfs.

tnx

If the file is corrupt then you can't run a script on it... Also, 400K files is too much for Acrobat to handle.

You need to use some kind of custom-made standalone application to do it. Such an application could generate a list of any files it was not able to open, for example, while Acrobat will probably just halt the process, or crash, when arriving to a corrupt file.
