Adobe Illustrator/Saving an ai file to pdf

Question
What seems like a simple process has not been one for me.  When I have a completed project, it has a few layers, I want to save it as a pdf.  I go to save as, click on the pdf, it goes thru all the motions but when I load up the pdf to check it the page is blank.  So what happened?  I am way too new to this ai CS4 program so take it easy on my :-)

Answer
I think I might know... is your artwork maybe off of the artboard?

I only have CS3 but if you want to send me the AI file, please save it as AI version CS3 and send it on over. AmyLynPace@yahoo.com

I don't share your artwork with anyone or use it in anyway, in case you are worried.

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.
