I was creating a binder to save several different pdfs into one single file, and then I was prompted to save. However, I accidentally saved over the wrong PDF file, and I can't seem to revert back. Is there any way to revert back to the previous PDF that I saved over? I really need that file!

I know, I sound very clumsy, which indeed I am, but any feedback that can help me with this problem would be GREATLY appreciated!

Also, my Acrobat version is Adobe Acrobt X Pro.

This idea just saved a 15 page document that was saved incorrectly deleting 14 of the pages. THANK YOU!

I just reverted to an old version!!!

I went to the search for file function on Windows - I think its called explorer.

Then I right clicked on the file and clicked on "restore previous versions.

Wait for the previous version to pop up in the check box, and click on the restore button and OK.

I appreciate all the help I have found on previous forums - just worked this one out and thought I would share.

You may look at your backups.

Where can I find those backups? I have a Windows 7 computer.

There are no backups unless you made them, I'm afraid. Take it as a lesson that you need to keep backups.
