How to resolve the error message "The dimensions of this page are out of range"

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.

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

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.

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.

Create a new document in bigger size, if your artwork is set in inch set your artbord in feet, then copy and paste your work into the bigger document.

I had the same issue on a small business card. 90 x 55mm. Kept getting the same message until I realised there was a second artboard - blank. Never been a problem before but once I deleted it, the PDF was made with 3mm bleed and trim marks.

I'm no expert, but feel like this is a new problem with Adobe Illustrator.

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?

I had the exact issue BUT as Susan5C52 said...I solved it by finding a tiny, wayward ArtBoard floating around. Deleted it and my 8 1/2x11 saved just fine. Thank you Susan!

I am having a similar issue with not being able to make a PDF because "The dimensions of this page are out of range". I am making a large art template for one of my company's products. I am maxed out with an art board of 227.54" x 227.54" The template is actually half size, it saves fine as an .ai file.

I read some of the issues other people were having, I made a new file with new art board and placed the template's elements onto that (got the same error message), I even removed all of the artwork to try and save the blank art board as a PDF and I still got the same error message.

To be clear there are no crop marks or any objects outside of the art board. PLEASE HELP!!!
