Adobe Illustrator/Saving Problems

Advertisement


Question
I am using Adobe Illustrator CS4 on a PC and am trying to design a roll up stand for my company. My page layout is 800 mm by 2100 mm. When I try to save this work, I receive the error message 'Cannot save file. The requested transformation would make some objects too large'. I have created files this size before and have had no problems. How can I solve this issue?

Answer
Hi Alison,

Have you tried creating a new blank document at the size you need and then pasting everything over into it and saving?

If it DOESN'T work, if you get the same message when saving, I would paste a little of the artwork at a time and see which object is creating the problem.

We can go from there.

Expertise

I can help troubleshoot your Illustrator 9 through CS3 (and most CS4) problems and suggest the best way to get the results you need. Although I can help with some installation issues, my forte is prepress and how to use the tools and functions in the application itself.

Experience

I've been a graphic artist for over 20 years. Oh my God, 20 years.
