PDF-ing Illustrator images

I just illustrated a children's book in Illustrator. Page size is 8.5 x 11" (about 610 x 790 px). I have allowed for a slight bleed area around the edges.

The pages are full color with LOTS of layers. VERY heavy files. The company printing my book wants it in PDF form.

I'm attempting to create PDFs from each page:

Save A Copy

Saved as Press Quality

I selected crop marks and bleed

When I export it, I get a pop-up saying: The dimensions of this page are out-of-range.

The PDF never gets created.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any advice you could give me!!!!

Hi Monika - I managed to figure out how to successfully PDF the files. I've attached the PDF settings. My artboards are 630 x 810 px. All the pages were designed at 8.5 x 11, but I added a 0.125" bleed areas on all sides - making it 630 x 810 px. I need Press Quality, since the 52 pages will be in a full-color book. Also - I'm not sure how to proceed with PDF-ing the book. I seem to have 2 options:

1. PDF each page and then make a new PDF of all the PDF-ed files....or

2. I found I could drag my Illustrator files into Adobe Acrobat and then PDF them.

My concern is...is there a difference in the clarity doing it one way or the other?

I appreciate your help!!!! - Thanks, Marilyn

Has each page a single artboard? Check in the Artboards panel if there is maybe a large artboard in the background?

Yes - each page is a single artboard. I realized that the menu for the PDF format sometimes had Range 1-2...not realizing that I only needed ONE! There are about 52 full-color pages for the book, and I really want clarity!

Are your images vector images?

What kind of PDF file does the printer want? Just set it up the way they tell you.

Yes- everything is in vector. I followed their guidelines for bleed-area, and at the moment, I'm trying to PDF my Illustrator files. I appreciate your help - thanks!

Can you please show us screenshots of your settings? The PDF settings when exporting? The artboard settings with page size.

You may have something outside of the actual page, artwork or a stray object. try select all and find it.

Hi Grant - Yes - it was paths outside the artboard. I re-sized/double-checked/clipped all the pages and I'm good to go! Thaks for your help!- Marilyn
