Lost work

New Here ,
Apr 21, 2017 Apr 21, 2017

Hello everyone, this is the kind of run of the mill thing you must get a lot of - sorry about that...

Yesterday I did loads of work on a PDF form - today I opened it up and it had all gone.

I have the PDF set to save every 5 mins.

I thought to myself, maybe I was eidting a different version but when I search the system for PDF, only the version without the saved changes appears.

What's really strange is that this document says that it was last edited on the 19th when I was working on it on the 20th.

I'm still holding out hope that I can find it - does anyone have any ideas?

It was already on my hard drive, with the default, save every 5mins, selected.

I've done some digging on the internet and tried to look for tmp files but the consensus seems to be it's gone.

I can't quite believe it but I'm slowly coming round to the idea I have to do all the work again...

Unless you have an ideas?

Did you save the document before you closed it?

To be honest Bernd, I can't remember. It was such a hectic day. There's a good chance I just closed the lid on my laptop.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

In this case you must redo your work.
