So I messed up, and instead of doing a 'save as' on my IDW and renaming it to a new print, I just overwrote my main print. Before I overwrote on my main print, I had exported it to PDF. Is there any possible way I can import this PDF back into inventor as an IDW so I don't have to redo my entire print or am I just out of luck? ]:

So, have you looked in the "Old Versions" folder for the idw? You may have an older archived copy. Typically, that folder is a subfolder in the folder where the original drawing existed.

Short answer there is no way to convert a .pdf back to an .idw.
Depending on a few factors, there are a few ways you might be able to recover your lost file. Before modifying any more files, read the Inventor help about old versions. If you have kept default Inventor settings, you likely have a copy of the original drawing which you inadvertently overwrote.

Already looked there and unfortunately the old version already had two pages deleted from it that I need.

Already had checked the old version folder and that file is already missing pages I need.
