Final Draft 8 compatibility error?

I've been using Final Draft 8 without any issues for over a week. However, today when I opened the program, I received an error message stating, "This file is not compatible with this version of Final Draft." I'm confused because the same file opened perfectly fine last night, and I haven't made any changes to the program since then. Additionally, the PDF of the script is blank. I'm really anxious about this—I'm just one scene away from finishing my spec script. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Hello I don't know if this will help, but if you are able to open FD then why not try to load one of the autosave files? FD has always had issues with corrupt files.

Open FD, check the location where you are autosaving files. This is under options. If necessary I can get you software to undelete.

I will check back later to see if this helped.
