Yesterday, I edited my tex document as usual, but today I opened up the file and found gibberish. Someone please tell me if I can recover the original non gibberish file. Oh, good news is that the pdf that was generated yesterday is in tact, and I saved a back up before trying to fudge with maybe fixing this crap, so if all else fails, I can retype everything from scratch...which I really would absolutely hate to do, because this file is LONG.
EDIT: No, I do not want to know how to convert PDF to Tex (because I know that is nearly impossible, and I would be better off retyping everything), all I want to know if it is possible to recover the TEX file from what it looks like below.
