Recovering the LaTeX source code from a PDF

New Here ,

I created a PDF with LaTeX and accidentally deleted the source file. Is there a way to recover the LaTex source code from the PDF? It is not so much about the content but I need the template defining the page layout.

 Recovering the LaTex source code from the PDF is not that easy. I also face the same issue when by mistake i delete the source file. I tried this tool PDF to Latex converter and it helps. 
Although When exporting the LaTex back to PDF the layout is not perfectly but its close.

Hope it helps!

Not very likely, but this is something to ask the LaTeX community more than the Acrobat one...
