How to Recover Unsaved Files in Adobe Acrobat

‍

‍

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to recover unsaved work in Adobe Acrobat after an unexpected crash or shutdown.

‍

Note: This recovery works when Acrobat (or your computer) shuts down unexpectedly and Autosave has a recovery file available. If you closed the file and chose not to save, Acrobat typically deletes the autosave file, and you usually can’t recover those changes.

‍

1. Re-open Adobe Acrobat (or reopen the PDF you were working on).
2. When Acrobat prompts you to open recovered file(s), click Yes.
3. Save the recovered file(s) (use the same name, or Save As if you want a copy).
4. To make sure recovery is enabled next time, go to Edit > Preferences >Documents and turn on Automatically Save Document Changes To Temporary File Every _ Minutes, then set the interval you want.
