Question
Hi, when trying to save in illustrator, gives me an error stating that the operation cannot complete as there isnt enough memory (RAM)

Answer
Hi Emmanuel,

The simple answer is, you don't have enough RAM. This can be due to two things - 1. you have other programs open or a lot of fonts installed and its taking away from your RAM for Illustrator, or 2. your file is too large to save using the available RAM you have.

Try closing out other apps, and turning off some fonts and see if that helps. Otherwise, your file may be too big for your available RAM. Without knowing more about your setup, I can't tell you much more.

Thanks
