Repairing a document that Acrobat Reader considers broken

Aspose.PDF Product Family
1

Hi,

We have lorem-ipsum-resized-w-problem.zip (85.5 KB), a document that we got from resizing (using Aspose.PDF) the original PDF with an annotation lorem-input.zip (86.6 KB).

We tried to apply

document.Repair();

but we could not shake the error that Acrobat Reader is throwing when you open it

There was an error processing an annotation or link. There was a problem reading this document (16).

What is Repair actually doing in behind?
Do you have any similar API in Aspose.PDF for correcting issues on PDFs?

Thank you!

Would you kindly share the code snippet that you are using to resize the PDF document. We will test the scenario in our environment and share our feedback with you.

We are afraid that we do not offer any separate API to correct the issues in PDF. We are collecting the information about Repair functionality and will share with you.
