Missing 2022 Turbo Tax File

I've used TT (usually Premier edition) for decades and save all my tt and pdf files to my Dropbox account.  I need to amend my 2022 return (my error, not an IRS notice) but - inexplicably - cannot find my tt file anywhere in my Dropbox account or on my local drive, but have my pdf file of the fed and CA returns.  Is there any way to create a tt file from the pdf or is my only option to recreate my 2022 original filed return by starting over?

It's not advisable to save your tax files to a cloud-based storage.  If you try to download them to use later, they can become corrupted.  If you can't save on your C drive, use a removable drive.

 

If you search your computer for .tax2022, you may find a backup copy in Documents > TurboTax.

 

You can transfer a bit of info from a PDF, but not much.
