I have hard and long project in Adobe Illustrator. I made during some weeks. Our customer already waits it. But I got some problem on finish stage. It means that some of last days of work didn't saved in the .ai file. It are very important for me and I can't do it again, because I don't have much time to this. I only want to extract or get this data back from the file. Is there any opportunity to do it? Or I may forget about it? I'm very upset cause of what happened.
 
Requires Acrobat (not just the Reader).

The guide below was found from one blog, another variant of resolutions as AI Online Service was suggested by Google

Works on (and was tested in) Illustrator version 10 and all CS versions.

>Open the corrupt file in Acrobat.
>Take the arrow tool.
>Click on any element or text in the document.
>Just move the object by hitting one of the directional arrows on your keyboard.
>File, Save.

>Open the file in Illustrator.
>It will say 'this file has been modified outside of Illustrator' or something to that effect. it will ask if you want to keep changes.
>Say 'Yes' (or OK)

Your file will open virtually intact!

This has worked when nothing else has... believe me it is painful to have to recreate a corrupt file....
