Saving Illustrator file as PDF to adobe creative cloud

New Here ,
Sep 14, 2024 Sep 14, 2024

I appear to be unable to ‘Save as’ –> On creative cloud -> PDF

It will only save to CC as aic (I get no option to save as PDF)

(Export -> Export alsos gives me no option to export as PDF)


I thought this used to be possible, is this no longer the case?

There used to be an option to save files to a cc files folder that synched to the cloud, but that option has gone.

No, you can only save .aic files to the cloud.

Agreed, I used it a lot, versions, local files and cloud versions, easy sharing of multiple filetypes...

I know this is old, but I found the solution and I hope it helps someone. When you click "save as" select "save on my computer" and in the save window, for "save as type" select PDF and below that there is a button that says, "save cloud document" select that.

That will not work. It will then change the file type to AIC
