Adobe Illustrator Text Import Options Error

I was saving a file in Illustrator 2020. After 1 minute the electricity went out and my computer turned off. When I turned it on later and opened the file it had a "Text Import Option" error message. When I click "Ok or Cancel" it opens a blank document. I'm looking for solutions on the web, and adobe helpx site but nothing works 😢 Is it possible to recover the file? It is a really important job.

Thank you

    Hi @Sabbir5FED 

     

    If you don't have a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), you might want to look into it to avoid future trouble.

    The blackout was when you were saving?

    That is the moment when your file is most vulnerable and probably cannot be recovered. Do yoiu have a backup?

     

    Time Machine? Cloud backup? Synced file in Dropbox or Google Drive?
