Ive been working on a pdf adding comments and highlighting, when all of sudden acrobat showed a message "file is empty 0kb" and quitted! The file is still there but inaccessbile, showing 0 kb size. I need to recover the data, its important for me. Thanks.

my IPad is dong the same thing an it isnt because i am switching between apps. If i close out adobe then it deletes everything i just addd. It seems that is i change more that one field block at a time then it will automatically revert back to the beginning saved info. I lost an entire time sheet and have had to redo it several times. This is becoming a very frustrating issue.

Hi orens9400695​,

What is the version of Acrobat Reader?   Go to Settings > Adobe Acrobat > Version.

Would you please close an open PDF document first and force close Acrobat Reader?

If it doesn't work, please restart your iPad/iPhone.
