hi

tried opening the file in acrobat and didnt work

In that case you're out of luck. If neither Illustrator nor Acrobat can show anything in your files, then there is nothing.

You will find a couple of recovery options in this thread: Previously saved illustrator file now blank

No guarantee that they will work.

Exactly where did you save the file?

Did you search for its name on your harddisk?

Is that a synchronized folder? (like Google Drive, Dropbox ...)

There is no other file with the same name?

Can you open that file in Acrobat? And does Acrobat show the most up-to-date version of the file?
