What operating system are you using? If you accidentally open a PDF form with Preview it will corrupt the document even if you do not conciously do anything, no warning given. I would suggest having a .zip of the PDF so that if you accidentally open the file you can restore it.
I also have experience where accessing on a server can change files, compying that file to a local drive has solved the issue. (Note that with newer operating systems Windows and Mac will default to synchronising the dexktop to OneDrive or iCloud,.. which also can also cause problems)
