I have edited my .pdf file couple of hours ago. Then I opened it again and Adobe Acrobat 11.0 viewed - File does not begin with %PDF. This issue disappointed me; I don't know what to do next. Please, any help.

A pdf does not need to begin with %PDF. It needs to end with .pdf
What program did you use to create/edit it?…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Just checked one with Hexed (yes, I'm a dinosaur) and it should start with %PDF. Rather doubt, if it's corrupted, that only the 1st 4 digits are affected so this is rather an open ended question.
PS Or not. You probably found this by now. So maybe summit is adding bytes at beginning. Maybe use hexed or other to crop it.
