Not from the 1.97MB file containing only zeros, but there is a good
possibility that an earlier iteration may well still exist. I would
try the recycle bin, use "<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.voidtools.com/">Everything</a>" to find files of
a similar size, age, and/or name, and so on. But since you have the
PDF, if you wrote the original source code you should have
(relatively) little trouble in re-creating it, unless you created it
a very long time ago.<br>
