How to access "off-artboard" content after saving to PDF format?

I saved my .ai as .pdf in order to send a proof to client.

 

I then made another days worth of changes and hit "Save" and then "close".

 

Now I've realised that because I most recently saved as PDF, that was the file I then saved over.

 

My major issue now is that all the important content is sitting off the artboard, but because I've saved as PDF - I cannot access it.

 

I can see the data displaying within the PDF in the preview thumbnail of the document (In Illustrator's recent file list).

But when I open it, it asks me to specify an artboard and only opens the artboard content. Is there anyway that I can get to the "off-artboard" content?
