What is PDF Inspector?
PDF Inspector is a diagnostic tool designed to read and analyze PDF files. It allows users to view, edit, delete, and update arbitrary PDF objects. The app displays a PDF's objects as a tree, making it easy to explore PDF documents. It also supports password-protected documents and can help users understand why a file is corrupted or even fix issues in files.
1. PDF Inspector is built on top of and powered by PSPDFKit, the same PDF engine trusted around the world by companies like Dropbox, Box, IBM, Atlassian, SAP, and Lufthansa.
