mitch13 · 07-29-2024, 06:02 AM

I have searched for an answer with no luck (and there might not be one).
I imported many books/magazines into to Calibre, which I thought I had lost in a rebuild. A lot of them, mostly .pdf books, will not open (obviously faulty/incomplete) and need to be deleted. The problem is there are so many to check if they are faulty, and it can only be done one at a time, which takes awhile opening them with a PDF reader (web browser) and then waiting for them to try and load.

Is there any plugin or similar that could check in bulk for these problem books?
