Saving as a PDF (in any format) on Illustrator is either failing (unknown error message) or producing a PDF with the above black squares.

Any ideas what is casing this?

I can not locate the problem without seeing the original content. Anyway, I suggest you check out the document settings, the color method, and especially the raster effects settings.

Furthermore, use the link panel to check that all inserted images are available.

What is the original content of that document?

It may be a flattening transparency issue...

Original file contains images and gradients but no transparency.

Not sure what the culprit is?
