Question [SOLVED] Fixing broken PDFs?

Hello,

Calling PDF experts out there.

Are there tools to fix broken PDFs that give out the following errors? Those are very old files whose source files are unavailable.

Thank you.

Code:

Edit: While I'm at it… With at least one file, text I copied from it turns into a series of question marks when pasted elsewhere. Could it due to fonts?

Here's the fonts it used:
Code:
Fonts: Helvetica (Type1)
MSTT31c4a3 (Type1; embedded)
MSTT31c4af (Type1; embedded)
MSTT31c4ba (Type1; embedded)
