Sorry---you need the tax file. The pdf will not do the trick for you. When you use the CD/download, the tax file is stored only on your own hard drive or any back up device you used like a flash drive; it is not stored online. If your computer crashed and you cannot recover the tax file, then sadly, you will be starting from scratch for 2023.
