Hi there

I have recently upgraded to Mac OS Catalina 10.15.1 and have found that I can no longer save my Illustrator 2020 files as pdfs. 

Any ideas?

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reaching out. As per Monica's suggestion, you can try resetting the preferences in the update process.
You may also follow the steps below to do that:

  • Close all Adobe applications. 
  • Go to locations 
  • ~/Library/Caches 
  • ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe 
  • ~/Library/Preferences 
  • Rename  Adobe Illustrator, com.adobe.illustrator and Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings folders to   Adobe Illustrator.old, com.adobe.illustrator.old and Adobe Illustrator 24 Settings.old 
  • Launch Illustrator from the Creative Cloud.

 

**Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings and Illustrator will launch with default settings. This way all your old settings will be saved in .old folders and Illustrator will recreate new folders with default settings.

Hope it helps.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh

Is that already version 24.0.1? If not please update and rebuild your preferences in the process.
