Using the utility find might help you search for that file.

Code:
find /path/to/directory -name "_Highres.pdf" -type f -ctime -2

find: the program to search for files, links and directories

/path/to/directory: location to start the search

-name "_Highres.pdf": searches for by name

-type f: it has to be a file

-ctime -2: it has to be less than two days old

Now, that might return one, several or no file meeting those conditions. It all depends of what you have in /path/to/directory. Something to think about when trying to upload.
