Dear all,
I have got a big probleme because I don't manage to open an PDF file saved from an AI file that I have not saved.
The file is heavy 9,7 Go.
Please have you any suggestions ?
This is an important file for me.
Best regards and thanks to all

Does the file still open in Acrobat?
What is in it? Why is it so large?

No I can not open either in PDF or in AI.
There are a lot of textures.
Is heavy beacuse there is a lot of mask

In that case you might have come to a dead end.

looks like there is something with the Illustrator application. Cn you reinsall the app and see if it is opening. You have enough ram ...

For the time being, I can use only the 16Go one. The file has been performed with the 32 Go
I am wondering whether there is a way to investigate what can of elements in the file make it so large.
If so, i could then delete them .. if I manage to open it again of course.
