I made a .ai file yesterday and even exported it to png. It consists of 16 artboxes. The file is 116 MB. When I try to open it, it says:
The file size has exceeded the permitted limit and cannot be saved.
I would like to eddit the file and reuse it. Can anyone help me?

And the warning comes from where? Illustrator?
Can you show a screenshot of the warning?
How much spare space is there on your harddisk?
How much RAM?

There is 833 GB free so that shouldn't be a problem.
RAM is 16 GB so that shouldn't be a problem either.

I kinda think the whole document is broken. I can't move it to another place on my computer. It gives the same warning.
