Hi All, I require help, now I work with Adobe Acrobat Pro a bit, I've come across a couple files that won't open, it's very likely that they are damaged or corrupt based on the error I get, when I try to Open it.

Now my question is what would be the best software to fix corrupt or damaged files, preferably Adobe software, if their isn't any Adobe Software what would be the next best thing.

Quite frankly, Adobe Acrobat is exceptionally forgiving in terms of dealing with PDF files with “issues.” Acrobat tries prudently repairing such files but doesn't go to extreme means which could cause even more damage to the file(s) or possibly allow a malicious file to cause system problems.

If the file can't even be opened, it is probably in a really corrupted state that none of our tools, even within the base Acrobat Pro product or Acrobat Preflight can assist with.

Adobe does not recommend any

Adobe does not recommend any third party products for such situations.
