Well I had high hopes for a decent outcome for a foolish mistake I made. I lost a pile of data that I was backing up that extended back many years, most of which were in the form of PDF files. I paid the money, which was significant but I felt was worth it if the claims the business were making were true. I won't get into the annoying surveys which they will not allow you to bypass but the horrendous amount of time the scan took (and finally stopped be me the next AM) but all of the so called recovered PDF files came back completely destroyed. I've spent more than two days now going through them one by one with more than 95% of them totally corrupted. The small portion saved are not much good to me. I admit fully that I was the foolish one for not having backed up so may PDF files over a long period of couple of years but the cure of this exercise is definitely punishment enough.
