I keep trying to export my artboard to a pdf and it just says cannot export. The file name does not have any special characters in it. I previously was able to export it. Why won't it let me now?

Hello @Trisha5E13

I hope the problem is resolved by now. If not, kindly confirm the version of the OS/Illustrator installed, and if this happens with specific files or when exporting to a particular folder location, so we can better assist you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I have the latest version installed. I made sure there were no updates. What is the largest artboard that can be exported? I’m confused as it worked the first time but not the second. It only occurs with this file because it is the largest artboard I have tried to export.
