CorruptedPDFinder Reviews

Thank you for a great product. Easy to use and very helpful. Great job!!!

This has amazing potential and a solution that I would more than be willing to pay for - I wish the developed would come back to this project as it has considerable hope but no updates since 2018 - thoughts on use - I can select files in the same window as the move or delete option selection - it would be nice if for the files that I select that I could also choose to delete - move or more - additionally - this seems to stop if files are moved and have the same name - it would be nice as well if the option would be here for those files to have the ability to add variants to the name so that the process does not stop. Now if someone could also add word, excel, ppt files - I'm trying to do decades of data recovery to see what files I have lost over the years - solutions like this give me hope of saving 100's of hours.

Just the very tool every person with a folder full of pdf-format files needs! It is possible for a lay person to use it as it has clear and easy to operate GUI- unlike other similar free solutions you could browse up, including command line tools e.c. Datalogics PDF Checker. A really practically useful piece of software - big thanks twice: for making it and making it available for everyone to use.

Great tool. Would be even greater if could also move the "May Be Corrupt" files to a different directory in the same manner as with the Corrupt files.

agreed...if there is a way to output to a text file...I would pay money for that feature.

Solves my problem of checking thousands of PDFs.

The software is great. However, At the moment, there is no feature regarding files with file status "may be corrupt". Therefore it would be great If the author kindly add features regarding files which might be corrupt similar to corrupt files features (but separate features). I must say that this software is the best I could find to solve the issue of corrupted files.

Works flawlessly. The only enhancement request I can think of is output a text file containing the list (including full paths) of the corrupted files in addition to the delete and move to folder options.

Hello Michaeldale, First, thank you for your kind review. Second, thank you again for tweaking the source code and make CorruptedPDFinder better suitable to your needs and then willing to share it with the community! As I never expected my little tool would become so popular, I did not create a discussion forum. Now that has changed (see discussion). I would appreciate it if you would post the code there as a zip file but if you feel more comfortable using GitHub that is also fine. I would in that case appreciate a reference to this site. I am planning a new release of CorruptedPDFinder somewhere this year with updated features and I would like to include those that you described, if that is okay with you. I would provide you with the proper credits of course. Please let me know your thoughts on this in the forum. Thank you and kind regards, CG Silva.

This is a great start. Thank you so much for uploading the source code. I am not a VB programmer but I needed to make some changes to it. - Changed Move to Copy - Skips files that already exist in destination folder - Logs files that are copied and/or skipped. Can I publish the changed code on github or something? Thanks
