FileFixxr error messages and what to do
Last reviewed Lees dit in het Nederlands
What FileFixxr's messages mean, from files that are too large to repairs that could not be done, and why most of them say "Nothing was charged".
Opening a file

Checking and repairing

| Tokens for FileFixxr are not enabled in Endorr yet. | Repairs are temporarily unavailable. Try again later. |
| Endorr could not be reached. Nothing was charged. | Try again in a moment. |
When a repair is refused
PixlPilot sometimes refuses a repair because the result would not be good enough, for example "We couldn't enlarge this image without changing how it looks". Every such message says Nothing was charged. Try what it suggests: a smaller print size, a larger original, or a PDF with real text. "This preview expired" means you should start the repair again; "Try again in a minute" means the engine is busy.
If the tokens were not refunded, or the same error keeps coming back, use Help → Contact support in FileFixxr; it adds the details for support. See Contact support.
