Error "The Dimension of this page are out of range"

Please help me with this error i continue to get while attempting to save my work in Illustrator CS3

"Acrobat PDF Format is having difficulties. The dimension of this page are out of range"

The original artwork was massive so i figured it could have been because of the size. I scaled the artwork down by 70% but got the same message. I then created a new document which was A3 in size, I copied the artwork over to the new A3 doc in a single layer but the error still continues.

I have never seen this kind of error before and i cannot work out how to solve the issue - I need to save this work!

Please help

UPDATE do not delete the large artboard or the canvas will shrink again. Just change you page range when you save as a PDF

Solution: Create a NEW Document in Illustrator and NEW Art board 2x larger than you need. EXAMPLE 5500 mm are need make the 11000 mm. Then create a new Art board at change it to the correct size you desire.

Add Artwork. Save as PDF. Problem Solved

You will notice the background Canvas area is at the 11000 mm size.

Hi all, just found the problem, I had the same issue.
The problem is that there is a 1x1 pixel artboard in the document.

Obviously this happens when accidentally we "clicked" when we were in the "Edit Artboard" mode.

Hopefully my experince will help you there.

Hey guys, so I was facing the same problem in illustrator so I completed my artwork in illustrator and saved it as "eps" file and opened in photoshop and from there it was getting saved in pdf file easily.

You should try this I think this is the easiest and obvious one.

When "opening" an EPS in Photoshop, you are converting in to pixels. So I'm really not sure which problem this kind of "solution" should solve? It only makes everything worse.

I had similar issue. Couldn't figure out what causes this problem. Then I have checked m arboards one by one by double clicking on each artboard from the artboards panel. Apparently there was an artboard that wasn't even visible to the eye. After deleting it the provblem was gone.

This happened to me too. I must have been using the "Artboard Tool" and by accident created a tiny Artboard. Deleting it solved the issue.

I had this problem today as well and it was a tiny tiny Artboard, 2pxx2px that had somehow been created. Deleted, fixed.

ok .... I got it .... You can't export more than 200 inches wide.

200.1" and the system blocks it. So make your artwork smaller than this.

I have the same problem. If I create a new document with the same dimension with no artwork at all, I still have the same problem ... dimensions are out-of-range.

Document size: 204" x 27"

Just solved it.

When going through my canvas I found a 1px width artboart which I created by mistake, and since my file contained bleeds , I guess a bleed to 1 px couldn't be calculated...

As I deleted this dartboard - the problem was solved.
