Preview PDF: No save, doc. lost

[monkyboi]

Hello Macrumors!

I was writing a form (.pdf document) in Preview today. When going to try to quit (apple + q) the printer proxy, I accidentally quit Preview. I guess whoever created the document set it to read only, so I could not save (I'm a bit stupid, should have worked in word). Is there anyway I could retrieve the document? I doubt so, but that is why I am coming to you guys.

 

[Peace]

Go back to wherever you got it in the first place.

I did, it was just saved onto my harddrive under the original file. When I open it, it is just the original blank form again.

Then no, you have to re-enter the data.
