Question

Hi everyone,I'm new to using Adobe Scan and need help recovering a PDF.About a year ago, I created a 5-page PDF using Adobe Scan on my iPad by scanning photos. Around two weeks ago, I opened the PDF, edited just one page, and saved it. I'm not sure exactly how I saved it.Today, when I opened the PDF again, I found that only the edited page remained. The other four pages had disappeared.I've checked Adobe Acrobat Online and the “Your documents” section, but I can only find the edited page. I haven't been able to locate a Trash or Deleted folder either.Is there any way to recover the original 5-page PDF or restore its missing pages? These pages are important to me, and I'd really appreciate any guidance.

Hi @Electric_Cosmos7ce0I hope you are doing well, and thanks for the clear description and for sharing what you have already checked. and, I understand how important these pages are to you.From what you describe, you edited one page and saved the PDF, and when you opened it again, only the edited page remained. Unfortunately, in this scenario, the four pages that are no longer in the saved file cannot be recovered, and this matches what you see in Acrobat Online and “Your documents”, where only the edited page is available.If you still have the original photos you scanned, you can create the PDF again from them. To avoid losing important files in the future, we suggest keeping three copies of your scans as described in the help articlehttps://adobe.ly/47iFbIgRegardsAmal
