Please tell us your version and system.

Exactly where did you save the file?

What is the file size?

Did Illustrator crash when saving?

Does the file still open in Acrobat?

Since the file is important: did you make backups? Do you use Time Machine or something similar?

This is a user forum. Everyone answers on their own schedule. Unless people are marked "Staff", they don't work for Adobe and do this in their spare time.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about this. There are multiple factors that can lead to file corruption, however, you may try few steps suggested on this help article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-damaged-illustrator-files.html).

If that doesn't help, please email your file to file@adobe.com. We can take a look and see if the file can be repaired.
