Please Help!! Acrobat Autosave File Recovery

I have a project that I am working on in Acrobat and have the Autosave function set to 5 min. I don't know what happened, but Acrobat just blinked and went away. I have tried everything that I can find in the help file and on the web, but I cannot seem to access, find or restore anything from the"Autosave" files. the help file says to simply open acrobat or the file and select which file to go back to...I never get this option and have no idea where to find it.
If I don't recover this data I will have lost 12 hours of work....I would rather not have to stay up all night to make up for the time.
I am very new to Acrobat and this is probably a simple thing...but what am I missing???
thank you in advance for your help.

Any chance you have a backup from Dropbox or local backup software? If so, you could retrieve a version before the crash.
Is the file .ai or .pdf? Have you tried opening in Acrobat? If .ai, I would try duplicating file and changing extension to .pdf and see if Acrobat opens it.
Just a few thoughts. Maybe someone has a better idea.

  • Kernel panic/invalid node structure; please help retrieving my files!!

    Hi everyone, thank you for your time in advance... if anyone has ideas about how to solve it, I appreciate this very much!
    OK, here is how it began: while I was working on the airplane using PowerPoint, the gray spinning wheel appeared after which PowerPoint stopped working. I pressed the power button to exit (all applications froze). (So much for trying to get more work done...)
    Next, I powered up the computer but it would not boot up, with only gray spinning wheel showing.
    Next, tried to boot up while pressing power button and holding shift key. After some time (10 minutes), an error message appears. Researching it on discussion forums, I found that it is called “kernel panic”. Here is beginning of the message:
    panic(cpu 1 caller 0x47f5ad): "Process 1 exec of /sbin/launchd failed, errno 8\n"@SourceCache/xnu/xnu-1504.15.3/bsd/kern/kern_exec.c:3145
    Debugger called: <panic>
    [additional information here]
    Also, message “You need to restart your computer. Hold down the Power button until it turns off, then press the Power button again” is shown transparently in the middle of the screen over the “panic” message output.
    I turned on and off the Power button many times, but I get the same error message.
    I also tried Apple Hardware Test but it did not work (it did not generate any messages).
    Next, I tried to use the Disk Utility using the Installation Disk that came with the computer. After I clicked “Disk Repair”, here is the log:
    Verify and Repair volume “Macintosh HD”
    Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.

    At the end, a window presented over the error log stated :
    “Disk Utility stopped repairing “Macintosh HD”
    Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your back-up files.
    I need to retrieve my recent files!! Please Help!! Argh!! I promise that I will promptly back up my files now! I did not use Time Machine, and only some of my files are backed up.
    From what I read on the discussion forum, I will probably need to erase the disk and then do a fresh installation, but could someone please guide me with regard to how to back up the data / retrieve the files? I may have access to another mac so I’m thinking that the FireWire Target Disk Mode may work. I also have spare external harddrive (formatted for mac) (not partitioned). Also, how do I retrieve the files from the other computer if the FireWire transfer works?
    Also, the second step is to do a new installation, but is there any reason why “Archive and Install” using Disk Utility won’t help? I have some additional programs installed (Illustrator, Photoshop) so this means if I do a new installation, I will need to re-install those as well?
    I did some investigation, and it looks like this problem is similar to this:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18098343#18098343
    But my main issue now is to retrieve the files!
    Also, how do I investigate whether this problem is due to a failing hard drive or a natural file system corruption ? (so should I get a new harddrive or do a new install).

  • Please help, very important file corrupt

    Hi,
    I am writing my final thesis, (more than 100 pages) and indesign crashed this moring while writing. Now the file can't open anyware anymore. I am using CS6 trial version, and even on other mac and pc it will not open anymore.
    How can I get my file back? Please help me..
    Thanks a lot!

    It's usually a bad sign when the file will no longer open even on another computer. Do you get any error messages?
    Find, and empty, the InDesign Recovery folder in your user library to keep ID from crashing over and over when it tries to open the bad recovery data. (The recovery folder is in the same folder where the InDesign SavedData file is stored, and the path information for your OS can be found in Replace Your Preferences Note that this folder is gong to be a hidden folder if you run Lion, so you need to display hidden folders in your search).
    Once that is done, start InDesign and use FIle > Open... to navigate to the original location where the file is saved. Tick the radio button to "Open as a COPY" and cross your fingers. If you are REALLLLLLY lucky it will open, and if it does, IMMEDIATELY export to .idml, then save the file with a new name as a backup, too. File > Open... and open the .idml file you just made, Save As to yet another name and you should be good to go.
    If it doesn't open, do you have any backup copies someplace? If not, you best hope is probably Markzware: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery Submission Form
    Now some advice on preventing this from happening again (though a crash is outside your control). First, never work directly off a removeable drive, if that's your habit. Copy the file to the hard drive, edit, then copy back to the removeable drive. Do a Save As from time to time to clear out the old, useless and inaccessible change data from previous sessions and reduce the file size. Make backup copies every day. If you do the save as each time you are done working, and add a versioning sequence to the name or something similar you take care of two birds with one stone.

  • Please Help! Stuck in Recovery Mode and My Player is N

    If anyone can help...you would be saving me!!! I received the Zen Micro as a present last week. I have Windows Millennium. I downloaded all of the software successfully. My device is recognized by my USB, however, the Creative Zen Micro Media Explorer keeps stating that my device is not plugged in. So, I went and used the FAQ section's directions and went into Recovery Mode. Now, since I have not used this MP3 player at all yet, I am stuck in recovery mode. I downloaded all of the recent drivers, jukebox, and firmware to my PC, however, when I try to transfer the files to my Zen Micro, it states that the device is not plugged in. Now I am panicking because it is stuck in Recovery Mode, and I want to transfer my firmware, drivers, etc. Can anyone please help me?? Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Please Help! .jar file don't work.

    Hi, I've written a swing program that works fine when run from command prompt but it doesn't work when I create a self executable jar file and run it.
    Here's the generated classes after compiling the source file:

    The error is occuring because the jar ignores the system classpath.
    You need to set your classpath in the manifest file to find the external jars.
    Otherwise the external jars will not be found.
    In your case class javax/mail/MessagingException
    For example:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Created-By: 1.4.2_05 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
    Main-Class: TheGMailClient
    Class-Path: . jars/mail.jar jars/activation.jar
    The path will need to be correct in the above related to your system.
    Also because you mention a gif image.
    You will need to add the image to the jar - you haven't.
    make sure you are loading the GIF image file in a manner that can be used from a jar.
    Image image = null;
    try {
      image = ImageIO.read(getCkass().getResource("logo.gif"));
    catch {
      // what ever
    }You may need a relative path to the image in the jar depending on where the gif is.
    For example image = ImageIO.read(getCkass().getResource("images/test.gif"));

  • Please Help, Missing Project File and Discussion Advice Isn't Working.

    Here's the rundown:
    I was working in iMovie HD 5 when the power got cut out on my external hard drive. When I try to reload my project I got the 'Missing Project File' error that has been discussed by many on this board.
    There are two known fixes.
    1) Open the package and go back to the '~' version of the project.
    2) Use the MovieTimeline.mov in the Cache to import it back into a new project.
    Solution #1 simply didn't work.
    Solution #2 imports the full video as a single long clip but is significantly lower in quality than the original version.
    In addition, the movie was shot in true widescreen and plays in quicktime in 16:9 mode, but when I import that .mov file into iMovie HD for some reason bars are added on the sides and top and bottom of the frame, and the bars are thicker on the sides so it stretches the picture and makes everything look taller.
    Although I'd certainly much rather have my original project timeline back, I could still continue my work if I could figure out how to import the .mov so that it retains the quality and size that it had to begin with.
    Does anyone have any idea how to import it without losing the quality and size or how to gain back an earlier project save?
    Please help if you can, my grandfather's 83rd birthday gala celebration (2 days away!) depends on it!

    I know you're in a rush, so I'll mention a couple other possibilities.
    Solution #2 imports the full video as a single long
    clip but is significantly lower in quality than the
    original version.
    • You shouldn't see any difference. The video imported from the Timeline Movie.mov is exactly the same as the original video. My guess is you're seeing some side effect of the widescreen issue. That, or your iMovie playback settings have changed.
    In addition, the movie was shot in true widescreen
    and plays in quicktime in 16:9 mode, but when I
    import that .mov file into iMovie HD for some reason
    bars are added on the sides and top and bottom of the
    frame, and the bars are thicker on the sides so it
    stretches the picture and makes everything look
    taller.
    • Make sure you're importing to a DV Widescreen project.
    • It might work to open the Timeline Movie.mov in QT Player Pro and export to a DV stream set to 16:9, then import that to the new project.
    • It's curious solution #1 didn't work. What happened when you tried that?

    I swear to god, if i dont get this fixed by the end of the week, im gonna post the latest video on youtube... on how to smash up apple products.
    Ive been trying NOT to buy apple products since the first dawn of time, but i do actually like the ipod touch. But, low and behold... the very reason why i never buy apple products has been confirmed!
    can someone PLEASE tell me if there is a solid fix for this? i have literally tried EVERYTHING before you ask. im at my wits end.
    Using XP home, all updates installed... latest itunes,

    It will probably help if you'll post the exact error message and when it's occurring. Otherwise we'll just be guessing, not that someone here might not have a good guess. I'm going to guess that this thread might help:

  • Please, please,please help me find a recovery key. Without it I cannot sync, and your instructions don't work!

    I click on the Firefox tab, then "options" and THERE IS NO "Manage Account" and, therefore, NO RECOVERY KEY. Help me, please! Both my computers are Windows: one Win7, one Win8. I've spent hours and hours -- in multiple sessions over a period of months -- trying to solve this.

    Thanks, Ibai and cor-el for responsing to my plea for help.
    Ibai's response -- in particular his query about syncing two un-synced computers and his observation that I shouldn't need a recovery key -- made me realize that I had registered for some reason or another with Firefox back whenever, and that registration was gumming up the works. Firefox assumed I had previously synced, and now needed to re-synch (I guess). With this realization, I re-registered under another username, and (lo!) I started getting the cues I was expecting.
    I'm synced, and am presently exploring the Tile Tabs add-on and totally happy again with Firefox.

  • Please help.  Music files missing from itunes and computer!

    I know that this isn't exactly a new issue, but I have scanned the discussions and nothing that I have read seems to help. My son has a nano (4th gen). He isn't sure but he thinks that maybe he disconnected his ipod before a sync was complete or something because all the music was deleted from it. He's not positive that's what happened but that's his best guess. No problem -- thought we'd just pull songs over again to it from our library. However, when we try to do this, on about 50% of the songs he wants (all were purchased, not from CDs) there are exclamation points next to the songs when we try to drag them and it says the file can't be found. I have looked in the itunes library on our computer and while I can find the libraries, they also don't have these specific songs we are looking for. I've tried to search and I just come up empty. Is there anything we can do beside buy the songs again? There are about 16 songs or so. A couple of them I have on my itouch. Could I somehow transfer the couple of songs to the computer? And would that work to get them to his ipod? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    +It appeared to do that as there are now duplicates in our library, but when I tried to drag the new song to the ipod, that darn exclamation appeared again and the song wouldn't transfer.+
    It's easy to get rid of the duplicates. iTunes menu > View > View Options
    Check the Date Added box, then click on the column name Date Added twice. Eveything you added to day will be at the top.
    Then click File > Show Duplicates and only delte the one from today.
    Do NOT delete both duplicates, or the song will be entirely gone.
    As for dragging songs to the ipod, it has to be set for "manually manage music" for that to work. I don't understand about the exclamation point showing up again, unless you were dragging the 'old' reference that got deleted. Tyr dragging over the copy from today.

    Here's a detailed explanation:
    - Create a dropdown list with your 4 categories as the text values
    - Go to the binding tab and check the checkbox that says "Specify Item
    Values". You will see your four categories and they each will have been
    assigned a number (0, 1, 2, 3). Change these number values to be the
    URL to the PDF that you want each category to be associated with.
    - Add a 'change' event to your dropdown list. Select Javascript as the
    scripting language. Put the following code in your change event:
    var selectedText = xfa.event.newText;
    var redirectURL = this.boundItem(selectedText);
    xfa.host.gotoURL(redirectURL);
    Hope this helps!
