Can someone please help me? I have lost over 24 hours of work done in Acrobat.

Question

To give you the background of what keeps happening is I compile a pdf on my macbook pro from several different documents I need to put together. Then I uploaded it to an email account and downloaded and saved it on my pc (Windows XP and Acrobat 9) in order for me to add more individualized Bookmarks and text boxes. The total file size (if this matters at all) is 57MB. I added hundreds of Bookmarks, text boxes and highlighting to the pdf and saved it every 10 minutes (this is in addition to my Acrobat program being set to autosave every 5 minutes). The file saved my additions and changes no problem. When I was finished working for the night I saved the file and closed it before shutting down my pc. The next day when I opened the pdf to continue working on it NONE of my bookmarks, text boxes or highlighting was there with the exception of a few changes I made to the wording of of a couple original bookmarks. I do not understand where all my work went or if there is any way to get it back. If anyone knows what is going wrong or how I could recover my work please respond to my posting. I am afraid to work on the document anymore because this was not the first time this has occurred. PLEASE HELP ME!!

Answer 1

I have no clue about recovering the info, but when you say you save you should always use Save As. That clears unneeded info from the file. With the file size you have, that may be an important need.
