Cannot save Adobe Illustrations as .pdf files

Question

Hi, I use adobe Illustrator creative suite 3. Now there seems to be a problem. I can't save my Illustrations In the .pdf format, since this format seems to preserve the graphic quality this Is vitally Important to me. If I save the Graphic In .jpef /.gif or png there Is some serious loss of quality so I need to find out a way to get this sorted.

when I try to save the graphic as pdf It says "An unknown error has occured"

please can anyone help me out here?

Thank you,

Answer 1

does your drawing too complex ? I had the same problem once, becausa i have complexity in path and point data, and the resolution was too high

Answer 2

Have you tried 'printing' to PDF i.e choose 'Print' then from the 'Printer' choice select Adobe PDF?

Answer 3

Can Illustrator save in the format .svg (scalable vector graphics)? .svg If so this is probably a better alternative. Read more about .svg here.
