Where does Acrobat save temp files?

I have Acrobat X set to autosave every 5 mins. It just crashed, but when I reopened the program, it did not prompt me to recover the autosaved file. Where is it? Can I open it manually?

Correct answer Dpakch

Here is the location for the AutoSave Folder on Win XP : C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\AutoSave

                                                                    Win 7 : C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\10.0\AutoSave\

No, you cannot open the tmp folder. File is folder gets deleted automatically once you close Acrobat.

Probably, you can set less time for AutoSave so if incase, Acrobat crashes, you lose minimum data.

Deepak

    Thank you for replying, Deepak! It didn't ask if I wanted to open the autosaved file at all when I re-opened the program, so I don't think it would have mattered if it were set to save more often.

    As you said, Acrobat deosn't prompt you to open the Auto saved file. So, when you make changes in any PDF. Do you see any temp file at the above mentioned location ? What's the size of it ? Ideally, when the Acrobat crashes, it prompts to recover the file on the next launch.
