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

I had the same issue. I had 19 art boards in my ai file that I could see but my art boards editor was showing I had 20, so I went looking and discovered an extra little tiny art board not the same size as the other 19. It was so small it would be easy to miss if I didn't zoom in. I have no idea how it got there. Once I deleted that rogue art board everything saved just fine in the PDF format. I'm running Illustrator CC.

Had this problem too. Went to Window=>Artboards

The pop-up showed I had an invisible Artboard    called "Artboard 4" (No idea how it got there)

Hit the trash can to delete it then did undo to see if I could see a difference and discovered there was a small sliver above my main artboard that would disappear on delete and reappeared if I hit Undo

After deleting it I could save no problem

Note that I did a 3% view and selected anything outside my main artboard and hit delete. Although this took out all random objects lying around it DID NOT delete the extra artboard. So you have to go to the artboard window to get rid of that thing. Very annoying.

I saved it as an .ai file, and after i saved it i changed the last part of the name of the file from .ai to .pdf and it worked perfectly. But you can not open it in illustrator with the layers again, so you'll have to save another .ai file.

Never had a problem with this before until today. At work trying to figure out what is happening. Somehow in the top corner away from any of my artboards was a tiny tiny dot, artboard #14 hiding - deleted and problem solved. I'm also designing billboards and hate having to send off and explaining to the printer to scale it up. Totally agree this needs to be fixed.

Completely agree with ShaneH. Why in the world am I able to create a larger file in Photoshop than I can in Illustrator? In the days of ordering print work online, it's absurd that I should have to go through the rigamarole of customer service agents who have no idea what they are doing or what I'm talking about to try to explain that Illustrator won't let me make a full size over the street banner, so I had to make it half the size and I need them to double it. I get my first gig doing something this large and it's a nightmare - not for any other reason than the software won't comply. Absolutely absurd!

What's more absurd is that I can take the file into Photoshop - create the proper sized file (420"x24") and copy/paste over my Illustrator file without problem. The thing that sucks about this work around is that now my file is a pixel file instead of vector. Thanks for nothing Adobe. Seriously. I have paid for and used Adobe products since their inception. I'm appalled at the lack of ability to design a full sized vector product.

Hey guys - I never had an issue doing billboard layouts, but just found this thread after searching this error while trying to create a PDF of a 3-page letter sized (8.5" x 11") document. The problem was a tiny dot of a page created in error at some point - I could barely see it without zooming in. Rather than too large, the page in the document was too small. If anyone finds this in the future, take a look - your problem may be solved as easily as finding and deleting an erroneous page in your spread.

(For the record, this is Illustrator CC 22.0.1 on a Mac Pro 3.5GHz 6-core cylinder running Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.3)

What is happening it's LITERALLY 10 years after the initial inquiry and this is still unresolved? I've got a massive doc I need to save as a pdf Help!

Does Adobe understand that designers use Illustrator and InDesign to create BILLBOARDS? Why do vector layout and illustration programs need to have canvas size limits smaller than a billboard? The larger issue at hand is that no one should have to be creating artwork at 50%, 33% etc., and then having to explain to their printer that it needs to be blown up 200%. This is absurd and would be easy for Adobe to solve. NINE YEARS AND NOTHING DONE ABOUT THIS.

This happens to me too. But if I choose to save it without bleeds, the artwork is saved without any problem.

I too have the same problem - saving out a super long doc that was bigger than the canvas, shrunk it down, and regardless of how much I shrink it down it still gives me an out of range error and wont let me save the work. Any help Adobe? Loyal Illustrator user for over 20 years. Feeling frustrated. Screens dumps at your request.
