So, basically guys i made a mistake by saving my file as PDF without checking the "save as copy" option, and i lost all my work (my entire work) because i cant now edit the file with photoshop, only with adobe acrobat. When i open the PDF on adobe acrobat i can move the layers, know the font name and all that type of thing but i want to rollback my file as PSD and edit everything with photoshop. Is this even possible ? i just tried to open the PDF file in photoshop but im lack of ram thats why i get the error of "theres is no enough ram memory"

I can provide you guys the PDF file and you guys give me my PSD FILE please ?

Try opening the PDF file in Ps. As Michael said, you might be in luck.

You can check in Acrobat if your layers have been preserved.

Good luck

You might be in luck if when you saved as a PDF from Photoshop you had the "Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities" option turned on. Have you tried opening this PDF in Photoshop again since your original post?

I appreciate that you want the original content back in Photoshop. If that can't happen, Illustrator might be your next best bet as it handles PDF content very well. It's also possible to export out a PSD file from Illustrator which might be of some help.
