Is it possible to corrupt PDFs by copying them (or failing to copy them)? A lot of my PDFs are coming up with misalligned objects and missing XREF chunks.

I don't think it has anything to do with calibre because it's happening even before I touch them with calibre. But I juggled a lot of them arround trying to get them into smaller collections for import.

I just wiped all the PDFs from my HDD and uninstalled calibre. Going to re-install calibre then restore my books from back-ups and start fresh.

Is there a decent renaming utility for Windows? I'm thinking that will be my best bet.
