What's in the file that it needs to be so large? There is no hard limit on file size that I know of, but performance will suffer the larger a file is.

So this user places a lot of raster images in the file?

This is how the Illustrator file format works: https://youtu.be/IpDh8Y7q8yE

depends on your hard disk space and speed, but its vector file, doesnt need to so big because there is a maximum quality for print for example.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. As mentioned above, Illustrator doesn't have any file size limit, however, document with file size greater than 2-3 GB is may cause performance issues. 

To optimize the file size, you may also take a look at this help article:  https://helpx.adobe.com/in/illustrator/kb/optimize-native-pdf-file-sizes.html
