Sorry, I can't do anything with it. That is one seriously jumbled file--it looks like the bytes are swapped around. What happened to it?

Well, here's a view of some data from your document file, compared to the same data from a good file. The differences all seem to be one-bit errors: the byte value is either the same, one lower, or one higher than the correct data. The colors show the differences: blue is low, yellow is high, others are the same. Gray is data that should be different, so we can't compare. (Click for a full-size view.)

This is just one component to the file; the other parts that I looked at have similar errors.

I can't see any pattern in the errors, and unless there's a pattern there's no way to repair the file. Maybe someone else has an idea.

I can't think of a reasonable scenario for how such errors might happen.
