Deep Metadata Scrubber troubleshooting

Common issues

• If output fails to open, retry with a simpler source file to isolate corruption.
• If expected links vanish, confirm you intended full annotation removal.
• If page count changes unexpectedly, inspect the source for hidden attachments/forms.

Recovery steps

1. Retry with a smaller sample file.
2. Refresh and run the tool again.
3. Use an alternative workflow from /tools if needed.
4. Check /status for current incidents.

What this does not protect

• Troubleshooting guidance does not guarantee recovery for damaged files.
• It does not bypass document owner restrictions when cryptography is enforced.
