Did you save the file as a PDF? Do you still have the AI file?

I'm facing the same issue. I saved it as an Ai file itself, but I'm still getting the same error

Hello @Basil255013353q5o,

We are sorry to hear about this. There is a high probability that the file is not recoverable now. However, you may upload it to CC, Dropbox, Google Drive, or any similar service and share the download link here or via DM. I must also inform you that file recovery can't be generated with 100% success. We'll surely try our best.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Anubhav

Hello @Basil255013353q5o,

Thanks for sharing the file. I'm sorry to inform you that the file could not be recovered. I could get a preview of the file, which I shared via DM.

I would request you try and save multiple copies of an active project to prevent such issues in the future.

Regards.

I'm facing the same issue with my AI file, and it's an important university assignment that I spent 2 weeks one and now I can't open the file nor convert it to PDF.
