  Use Artboards disabled when trying to save as PDF in Illustrator CS4

  Posted by Newbie Illustrator on June 13, 2012 at 10:53 pm

  Hi, I’m relatively knew to Illustrator coming from Photoshop and I’ve been struggling with this problem for days now. I’ve searched everywhere but can’t seem the find the answer. I’m using Illustrator CS4.

  I’m trying to save my document to send to a client as a mock-up. When I try to save as PDF the tick box for “Use Artboards” is disabled, so when I save it saves the whole canvas instead of only what is on the artboard. When I try to export I can tick the tick box but the document still saves the whole canvas with everything that is “hanging off” the artboard too. The artboard is the exact size of the document.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Many Thanks V
