Orazio, by chance were those documents stored on a portable USB drive? I don't know the solution to the problem, but that could be a potential cause. I had a resume saved on a USB jump drive, and it was also a PDF file, as well as some W2 forums from previous years, and all that data got corrupted. I was thinking I might have pulled it out without going through the proper steps to shut the device down, and doing so might have corrupted the data. I don't think there is a fix, and if there is, then its probably not an easy one. You can take preventative measures to make sure it doesn't happen again by making multiple backups of important data. Burning disks are better for long term storage, as well as uploading it on the internet to a file hosting website. As long as the later doesn't delete files frequently.
