How to recover overwritten PDF File which that was not saved?

[TS-202]

Hi,

Please could you confirm if it is possible to recover a PDF document that has been overwritten, but not actually saved.

The PDF was edited using Adobe Acrobat reader.

Kind Regards,

It is only possible when you have a backup of the document.

Hi.

Does Adobe have a tool that can be used to do this? If not, are you able to recommend any third-party tools?

Adobe doesn't sells backup software.

Hi TS-202,

Thank you for reaching out.

If you have made any changes to the PDF and did not save it, it is impossible to recover that information. 

As mentioned above, the form is edited in Acrobat Reader. Could you please confirm if you are using the application on a desktop or mobile?

When you say recover, do you mean the original PDF or the edited information on the PDF?

Thanks,

Meenakshi

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

The document was edited on a Windows 11 laptop. I am hoping to recover the edited information on the PDF.

Kind Regards,

Tamoor

What do you mean by "overwritten but not actually saved"? How can it be overwritten if it's not saved?
