Help! I renamed a file existing in the reader (Mobile), started by '. ' and he disappeared. Impossible to get him. How can I get it back? [iOS]

I was trying to organize my files in the player (on iPad) and I tried to rename a file in a first time '. ' to try to put at the top of my list, so that I could find it easily. It diappeared completely and if I look for him, he does not appear. Help!

Hello

A file name or a folder beginning with '.' ('point' or 'period') is considered as hidden on most operating systems.  By naming a file beginning with '.', you accidentally hidden the file and makes it inaccessible to all iOS apps.

I highly recommend to use '_' ('underscore') in the future.

We already made the change to the new domain controller Acrobat for iOS (version 15.0.x) app so that it does not authorize the operation of change of name with '.' as the first character.  (I assume you are using Adobe Reader for iOS iOS 7 or the older version of iOS).

To recover your hidden file, you must use a desktop / laptop Windows or Mac, install an app (free demo of iExplorer version, iFunBox) file manager, connect your iPad, browse the file system on your iPad and rename the file back to something else (so that it becomes "visible").

The exact steps vary depending on the file manager application that you choose.  You may be able to find videos on the manufacturer of the software web site or YouTube.

Do not worry.  Your hidden file is permanently lost.  You just need to get it back.  Good luck!
