I have an illustrator artwork with the artboard size 200 in x 20 in. The artwork is well within the bounds of the artboard. Earlier, I was able to save the .ai file as a PDF without any problem. Suddenly, the .ai file is refusing to be saved as a pdf with the message "The dimensions of this page are out of range". I am using Adobe illustrator CC 2018
Any help is welcome.
Thanks.
200 in is the limit for documents saved to PDF, so you're skirting that. Did you add a bleed or printer's marks in the PDF settings? That may take the page size out of range.
You can save each document in PDF that remains within the artwork of the Illustrator. The cut marks are out of this measure if you add a bleed. If this is the case, you may have reached the dimensions that the PDF cannot accept.
I found I had an extra, very small artboard which probably was within that 200 inch limit. Once I removed it, I was able to save the AI file as a PDF without the error message.
I had the same message. Sorted now. My issue was that i had accidentally created a very small artboard next to the main artboards that i was working on. Once removed the problem went away.
Maybe this will help someone?
Create a NEW document with double the size you need. Then, create a second artboard with your desired size. Export the second artboard to PDF and it should work. I just managed to export mine.
Open in adobe acrobat ----> Save as ----> Format Adobe PDF Files.

This is a billboard which specs are in FEET. I need to be able to export and there are no small objects anywhere else on the artboard. I have tried to create a new artboard new file and place and same issue occurs. I'm about done with all of Adobe products and actively looking for other solutions at this point.

Just how large is your artboard set up?
How large do you export? To PDF?
PDF supports a slightly smaller size than Illustrator allows you to create. You might need to work in scale. Talk to your service provider.

I also had this problem and my artboards weren't anywhere near that size.
It's sorted. One of the artboards were very narrow and long. I widened it and it worked
