• Repeated page breaks in the document
• Incorrect document layout and formatting
• Various error messages during processing
• System hanging while opening the file
• Any other unexpected behavior

The aforementioned behaviors may not mean that your document has corrupted but it may be corrupt if you experience such errors in the long run. You should check whether this behavior is same with other documents as well or not. If not, then this document is corrupt.
