Command-line tool programmatically detects errors in PDFs in automated workflows.
Datalogics PDF Checker™ is a command-line diagnostic tool built for developers who need comprehensive insight into PDF structure and recoverability. Instead of a simple pass or fail result, it performs object-level analysis to identify structural corruption, unembedded fonts, invalid resources, and specification violations that impact downstream processing.
When corruption is detected, PDF Checker attempts in-memory recovery, allowing you to assess whether the document remains safely processable without modifying the original file. This enables controlled exception handling, automated routing, and more resilient document pipelines.
Built on the same core technology as the Adobe PDF Library, PDF Checker delivers consistent behavior across platforms and high-volume workloads. It integrates easily into CI/CD pipelines, ingestion services, and batch validation systems where predictable results are critical.
For workflows that require remediation as well as diagnostics, pairing PDF Checker with PDF Optimizer provides a scalable approach to analyzing and correcting non-standard or damaged PDFs.
Use in conjuction with our PDF Optimizer, included with your PDF Checker free trial.
Identify unembedded fonts, invalid color spaces, transparency conflicts, and encoding issues impacting rendering & print workflows.
Validate cross-reference tables, trailers, and PDF objects to detect corruption and broken references before processing.
Analyze and attempt repair in memory without altering source files, ideal for automated and high-volume systems.
Generate structured output with classified errors to drive automated routing and exception handling.
Built on the core engine behind the Adobe PDF Library for consistent, enterprise-grade parsing and validation.
Deploy via command line in CI/CD pipelines, batch processing systems, or server-side document services.

When it comes to analyzing PDF documents for specific features or issues, PDF Checker provides a powerful, flexible solution. At the heart of this flexibility is the JSON profile—a file that defines the search conditions PDF Checker uses to scan and evaluate input PDF documents. Let’s dive into what makes JSON profiles an indispensable tool and how you can make the most of them.
