I built this tool a while back when I accidentally deleted thousands of my PDFs. I found the existing ext4magick and similar solutions to be cumbersome and complicated to use, and wanted something similar that just did PDFs. As a bonus, because it only handles PDF documents, the pattern recognision is super simple, allowing this program to scan through a disk at high speed, like the maximum read speed for your disk. Hope people find it useful. Mirror: https://github.com/seanhly/recover-pdfs Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47810848 Points: 3 # Comments: 0
