Error Message in Illustrator CS3

I keep getting this message:
"Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. The dimensions of this page are out of range."
I am not saving the file as a pdf and the page size is letter in horizontal orientation.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I've been having the same error. I could not save my file.
I seemed to "fix" it by selecting none and choosing Object>Crop area>Make.
This puts crop marks on the artboard page size (in my case US Letter). Doing this allowed my to save the file without getting the error message.
Quitting and re-launching Illustrator also seems to fix it.
I am using Illustrator CS3 on Leopard 10.5.2 on a Santa Rosa MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz, 4 GB RAM.

Anyone know this error message: Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.1 Update Installation failed. Error Co

Very new and very green to illustrator.
Have used only once or twice since i bought it.
Unfortunately when i need to use it now - it crashes
upon starting up.
I received the following error message:
Adobe Illustrator CS5 15.0.1 Update

Haven't a clue what to do!
Any help and direction would be most appreciated.

Updates can fail due to any number of system issue. They are more prone to failing if you alter the application in any way. On the Macintosh, popular applications such as Monoligual will remove application package contents and therefore cause updates to fail.
The easiest solution is to uninstall Illustrator CS5 using the uninstaller and then reinstall Illustrator CS5, then immediatlly run the 15.0.1 update.

HELP - illustrator cs5 error message when opening cs3 files

Has anyone else had this issue? Do you know how to fix it.
I just bought and downloaded cs5. When opening Illustrator cs3 files I get an error message: "Can't finish previewing. Could not complete the requested operation."
Then it opens the file but I it is only line work (no fills, gradients, etc) and I can not do anything in the file. If I click an object the error message pops up again.
This is what it looks like in cs3.
This is how it displays in cs5
I cant find anything online about this issue. Also this occurs on all of my illustrator files, not just one.
any advice?
thanks

I think your system is also fine for running Adobe Illustrator CS 5 but of course you are running the system as well and a browser and e-mail client…and perhaps Adobe Photoshop or Adobe InDesign or Microsoft Word in which case I think there might be on occasion an out of memory issue and with a complex file you will lose your preview.
I have lost my preview as well on certain files and found that it usually is because I had trashed the preferences and forgot to set the scratch to a different disk other than the startup disk.
I have 16 GB of RAm and once in a while I still lose the preview.

Error message when opening CS3 InDesign & Illustrator

Getting error message: The procedure entry point _CFBundleCopyForFileData could not be located in the dynamic link library CoreFoundation.dll. Saw a reference to this which said to open the Corefoundation.dll file and follow instructions. Found 4 instances of the CoreFoundation.dll files on computer but could not open them. How do I get rid of this error message? The programs will open but have to click "ok" four time to get rid of the message.

My recollection is this is a Suitcase error. There was a thread about it here a few months ago, I believe, and I think an update to Suitcase fixed it.

Error Message Premiere Pro CS3 running short of system memory; then closes

Lately Premiere CS3 is giving me the error message "running very low on system memory, save project and proceed with caution" and then it frequently closes on me unexpectedly. Hints?

If you are getting a "real" error, then the first thing that I would recommend is to study your programs and Processes in Task Manager. Look closely at the Processes tab. What is loaded and running? A screen-cap of the Processes list might help people to spot many that are totally unnecessary and can safely be removed from the boot files via MSCONFIG.
Next, when you're going to edit, Exit from ALL anti-virus, spyware blockers and pop-up blockers. Obviously, you will NOT want to be surfing the 'Net, once you do that. If you are editing, you will not be using other programs, except as required for actually editing - might be Photoshop, Encore, Illustrator, but no e-mail, messaging, iTunes, etc.. Next, use a program, like EndItAll2, to close down all unnecessary programs and Processes. It used to be freeware, but is now shareware. When installed, it surveys all running Processes and builds a database of the ones that it believes are unnecessary. It's really good at this, but you can tweak it easily, should it overlook one, or included one, that is really necessary. The reason that I Exit from things like AV and spyware detectors, is that by design, they will "lie" to programs like EndItAll2 and say that they ARE necessary. That is the way they works against Trojans, etc., that will try to close these to duck detection. There are other such programs, and many are freeware. I just use this one on every machine. Luckily, I got copies, when it was freeware, but would gladly pay for the shareware version, since it's so very good.
Now, your system is clean, lean and mean. You have rid it of some programs and Processes on a semi-permanent basis with MSCONFIG and then closed out of others. Last, on a session basis, you have eliminated many more.
One more step that can make a world of difference: check your Windows' Virtual Memory settings. Study the location of the Page File and also the management configuration. I like a static Page File, off of my C:\ and not on my media file HDD. I set to 2.5x my physical RAM. Others will locate this file elsewhere. It might take a bit of experimentation to find what is best for you.
Last, more HDD's, properly used, of adequate speed and size, will benefit you. Always defrag all HDD's on a regular basis. Much gets written to, read from, and often deleted during editing. This can fragment a HDD in a hurry. See the articles that are linked HERE. There is a wealth of info on setting up one's physical HDD's, plus other tips.
Now, you are ready to edit efficiently and smoothly, provided that you have good Assets, that PrPro likes. Still, as has been mentioned, there is a false error, and it often pops up with Titler.
Good luck,
Hunt

Hi i got this error message after illustrator cc crashed on my new mac mavericks. 0000000100000000-00000001014ca000 [ 20.8M] r-x/rwx SM=COW /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2014/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Illustrator

Hi,
I found different answers what to do, but nothing helped me.
I moved plug ins into different folders, opened up all security for illustrator read/write, reinstalled illustrator,
And found the same error message to somebody's problem, but no answer that helped. I found this guy with the same problem has the same user ID like myself. Normal?

Error message opening PS CS3 Extended : "Licensing for this product has stopped working"

I used Migration Assistant to transfer data from my (very) old Mac OS X to a new iMac OS X Yosemite. Before doing so, I uninstalled my (also very old) PS CS3 Extended. When I tried to open PS on the new Mac it asked me to download Java, which I did. But now when trying to open PS again the error message is "Licensing for this product has stopped working". I purchased it about 5 years ago in a box which I no longer have, but I do have the complete 24 digit serial number. How best do I remedy this?

Download the Photoshop CS3 installer Max or PC here. You should be good to go.

Error message in Illustrator CC 2014

Trying to enlarge a simply logo and I get the following error message.
Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too large.
What am I doing wrong?

George,
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way (remember to tick Paste remembers Layers in the Layer palette flyout/dropdown first, and to untick it afterwards).
Here are some websites where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,

As far as I remember, the first one is for Win and the one is for Mac, while the third one should be for both.

Error message = AppName: illustrator.exe AppVer: 16.0.3.691 ModName: kernel32.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.6532 Offset: 00012fd3

I tried to open my CS6 and received an error message that said Adobe needs to close. I have not been able to get it to open. I even re-booted my computer. Any suggestions?

Sorry, but that's totally useless. you have not provided any system info or other technical details. Kernel errors are driver or security issues on your system more than anything else and without more detailed info nobody can even begin to guess.

There seems to be a rather evasive bug.

I keep getting the error message 'Adobe Illustrator CS6 is not working and needs to be shut down' in Windoes 8.

How do I stop this? I have lost a LOT of work...

c,
It may be a range of different things, I am afraid.
You may try the list, unless someone comes up with something brighter.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.
