Recovered files might or might not work. That's just it. You cannot always expect them to work.

Can you still open them in Acrobat? In that case you might be able to at least recover some of your work. It might not be fully editable and a hot mess.

There is recovery software available, maybe that helps. There are several product, please search for them on the web.

And also maybe @Anshul_Saini can help with the file in question.

Take precautions, so the next crash won't throw you out of business. Make backup copies.
