Error: requested transformation would make some objects too large

working in Illustrator CS2, and am getting the error "Can't move the objects - The requested transformation would make some objects too large." From reading another post (that I am unable to find to reply to) I gather this may have to do with some guides. I have unlocked all guides through View Menu. Interestingly, according to help I should have hte selection to "view" guides. I don't find it. My problem is, i can find the guides to either delete or convert to an object to see if this will alllow me to move the objects. it is a 1 layer artwork, with multiple groups (too many too count),and multiple paths under each group (again, too many too count). This artwrok is a map printed to .pdf from SMT Kingdom. Kingdom is not very powerful, and I often annotate and edit maps in Illustrator; I frequetnly get this error when I have a map with contours on it.
Any ideas?

Because of the nature of my map, I do tend to have "landgrid" and other type of data that "extend" way beyond my actual image. for example, print to 8.5 x 11, and i might have a river that is part of my landgrid, that extend beyond the page size. The software from which I am printing does not "clip" this river. I have many times attempted to select and delete all this extraneous stuff, to alleviate my problem with "make some object too large", but no luck. I can assure you I don't have an object WAY off the page...i have zoomed out to the moon.

The requested transformation would make some objects too large.

Please help.
I load a PNG in Illustrator. However when it loads it doesn't load right. It loads HUGE. When I try and move it, it says:
"Can't move the objects.The requested transformation would make some objects too large."
I am pulling my hair out here. Why the hell can't Illustrator just open a bloody PNG and allow me to edit it?!
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I see, Christopher.
It seems that something is seriously wrong.
You may try the following (you may have tried/done some of them already) and see whether it helps (the following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file; 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences):
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder http://www.bugge.com/Family-and-friends/Illy/illy.html (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
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, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use.

How does one remedy this Adobe error message? "Can't scale the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects too small to use." This one always gets me. I'll spend more time trying to find the object in question. This has happened in almost al versions, but this time it's CS5.

Hmm, possible solution would be to select your object(s), scale them to 90%, and then hit Cmd+D or Control+D to repeat the transformation. I read that sometimes if you scale down too much and too fast it can cause this message.
Hope this works for you!

I am trying to copy a document and I keep getting the error "Can't paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area."

I am trying to make duplicate documents with minor adjustments to each and when I try to copy the artwork from one document and paste it into the new document I keep getting the error "Can't paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area." Both documents are exactly the same size, res, color format etc. I even tried to drag and drop and get the same error message. Anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?

Try scaling the view size down to 6% or so and then do a Select All. See if there are objects off the artboard which may be causing this error. Most often you will see this if there were guides dragged from a ruler which were selected by dragging the white arrow and then deleted. This leaves the anchor points at the edge of the work area.

Can't save the illustration. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely of

I wan't to save an AI file as an EPS. I get a message; Can't save the illustration. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area. I already did the ctrl+A but there is nothing outside my drawing area! It is a quit big file 2GB, but I don't think that this should be a problem! I really hope that somebody can help me?!?

It does, blablabla.
Thank you for sharing.

Please help. New CS 4 error: can't move the objects. the requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area.

I know this is not a "new" error message, but I have never gotten it on any previous version of Illustrator. I just upgraded to CS 4 and now get it on virtually every file when I try to nudge an object in any direction. Not that it should matter, but these are files that were created in earlier versions of Illustrator and I never had this problem. I have followed instructions from similar posts to no avail. I have zoomed way out to the edge of the art board: there are no hidden layers, objects, or guidelines, no lingering points from erased guidelines, or objects of any sort anywhere near the edge of the art board (which, I know, is enormous compared to the size of my working 11 x 17 document.)
What am I missing?
Also, on occasion, when I CAN nudge an object (usually a JPG or PDF image that I placed in the document), the image just disappears. I think it is still "there" though I cannot see it. Any suggestions?

I am nudging it by selecting the object and hitting the up, down, or side arrows. Dragging with the mouse works fine, but does not give me the precision I'm looking for. Dragging with the mouse also avoids the "disappearing PDF/JPG" problem.
I don't know what plug-ins I have. Possibly none.
I don't use clipping masks. But I did select one object (and then ultimately selected all objects) and went to clipping mask, the "release" function was not active, so I am assuming there are no clipping masks in the document.
I did attempt to select stray points, nada.
I have not tried getting rid of the settings folder. Not sure how to do that?
Also not sure how to take a screen shot to show you. I can tell you that there is only one layer and it is a very simple document with just a JPG image, a few objects and some text.
Sorry! I hope this helps you help me, I normally just use a few simple tools to produce some basic documents.

How to resolve this error - "Cannot save the illustration The requested transformation would make.."

Hello Adobe Community,
I am trying to organize some album artwork within a pre-designed template and I keep getting this error when trying to save the file in the eps file format:
Cannot save the illustration The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area.
All the art is within the bleed lines. The only transformation I did was rotating one of the pieces 180 degrees. I'm not exactly sure what it is referring to when illustrator says objects are going to completely fall off the drawing area.
Your insights would be appreciated.
Thank you!
Chris

Did you use Guides at all? From the View menu, choose Guides>Clear Guides. Then zoom way out and do a Select All and see if there any stray points near the borders of the artboard. Direct select them and delete. Then try your transformation.

"Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large"

Hello,
I believe someone else had a similar problem and posted to this forum, but here it goes...
I have a project in Premiere CS3 that uses MPG files. The files open just fine in CS3 at work. At home I have CS4, but those MPG files do not import. I've tried converting the files to a MOV file but I just get the same result:
"Error Message: File video dimensions (width/height) too large"
I'm using Premiere CS4 version 4.1.0 on a Mac. My work computer is a PC.
I've tried running the file through MPEG Streamclip a couple times with different settings, but so far no luck. I realy have no idea what I'm doing there or what setting could work, but I've got another conversion cranking away now. We'll see how that goes.
Thanks

A handheld 4K camera with exchangeable lenses with 1" sensors, standard with a 20-600 mm equivalent zoom range, with extender, with a simple battery that lasts at least 12 hours, that records on $ 25 SD 128 GB cards, available at every streetcorner and does 4:4:4 color space uncompressed I-frame with a weight of less than 4 Lbs and with a dynamic range over 60 dB, all under $ 1 K?
Take out the prices and you've fairly accurately described the forthcoming Scarlet.
It also describes somewhat well AVC-I cameras.
But overall, I would not argue with your description as a goal to be achieved in 5 years. In the interim there would have to be compromises, of course. But there are three things that should never be compromised in any video camera anywhere - the imaging devices should always be full resolution, the recording format should always record the full raster, and only using I-frame compression.
This was the norm for standard definition. Only with HD have camera makers mucked things up. It's time they got back to basics and made proper cameras.

Error message: object too large

It says: this object is too large to render, and will be cropped. The maximun size is 2048x2048. I am not sure what that means. Any help, Thanks!!

You have a rather poor GFX card to go on working with Motion, but the work around is to resize the object you added. One way to do this is to select your layer and hit SHIFT+F to show the file in the media tab. Then go to the media tab in the inspector where you'll see the Fixed Width and Fixed Height sliders. Crank those down to an acceptable level.

BUG: Web service returns request XML as response when result too large

Hi,
sorry for cross-posting, but the Web Services forum seems to be quite abandoned and this is an urgent issue for me.
I have a web service returning some records of a given type (created using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3). The running environment and the service implementation do not seem to make any difference, as the situation is the same whether running it in embedded OC4J or in AS 10.1.3.1, and whether it is generated from a PL/SQL procedure or a method of a plain Java class.
The problem is that if the result of this web service is too large (contains a lot of records), then the processing halts in some Oracle class in some web service library, so not in a debuggable generated web service source or in the service implementation itself.
I think that the XML processing halts because of a "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space".
Then a more serious problem follows: the service doesn't return a fault message but the original request XML as a response. Obviously, this can lead to some really unexpected errors.
To reproduce this error:
1. Create a Java class with a method returning an array of an arbitrary type, of the size specified in an input parameter.
2. Create a web service from this class.
3. Call it multiple times increasing the size parameter in every call until you get back the request as response or any error message.
For example:
- if you test the web service using the web page generated to access the endpoint, then you can see the response XML - in case you don't get an Internal Server Error (Java heap space).
- if you use a generated web service proxy for testing, then it will give an error saying "unexpected element name: expected={namespace}someOperationResponseElement
actual={namespace}someOperationElement".
Any ideas how to locate / solve this problem?
Regards,
Patrik

Patrik,
the usual recommendation is to try with 10.1.3.3 instead of 10.1.3.1 to exclude you are hunting down an already fixed issue. From what you describe, the error seems less JDeveloper related than OC4J or OracleAs.
So in case it reproduces in 10.1.3.3 I suggest to create a testcase and open a service request with support, or try the OC4J forum in case its known there.

Debug object too large

Hi,
When i try to debug webkit on solaris, i get this issue:
libwebkit-1.0.so.2: Value too large for defined data type terminating signal 9 SIGKIL
-rwxr-xr-x 1 jack staff 2.9G 2010-10-14 02:32 .libs/libwebkit-1.0.so.2.17.5
Any way to get around this? or some compile options to reduce the size of debug object?
BR,
Simon Jin

The error message is actually from the dynamic linker.
Can you run the application outside of the debugger?
Try this:
$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$ <your-a.out>
Does it work?
Now do the same inside dbx.

ERROR : OpenDoc CR to PDF - File is too large for attachment.

We are getting the following error in 3.1 using an OpenDoc call when we call a large Crystal Report to PDF format...
Error : 52cf6f8f4bbb6d3.pdf File is too large for attachment.
It runs OK from BOE when given parameters that returned 44 pages. (PDF = 139 KB)
We get the error on a parameter-set that returns 174 pages when run via CR Desktop or as a SCHEDULED Instance. (PDF = 446 KB).
Client application can't use the SDKs to SCHEDULE Instances - only configured for OpenDoc calls.....
The BOE server is running on SOLARIS - and it's is a 2 Server CMS-Cluster.
The problem is SPORADIC, so I am thinking the issue is related to a specific setting on one of the servers.
Any thoughts on where to start looking...?

Problem is _not _with the number of Rows returned - it is an issue with the size of the PDF file that it is trying to move.
Found a possible WINDOWS solution on BOB - need to find if there is an equivalent for SOLARIS...
Check the dsws.properties on web server D:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\dswsbobje\WEB-INF\classes
See if you can change any parameter to remove size limitation.

Flash CC is showing objects too large on my retina display?

For example,
If i create an image 2560px wide (which is the width of my screen) in photoshop and then import into Flash CC, it shows up on the Flash stage as almost twice that wide....
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

In addition to simple pixel resolutions photoshop has the option of ppi.
If you choose 144 ppi (which might be reasonable if you target retina displays) and 550x400 pixel
The picture will appear double sized on flash old-school 72pppi /550x400 pixel stage.

CANT SCALE THE OBJECT TOO SMALL TO USE

In Illustrator I get this prompt when I scale an ilustration: Can't scale the objectthe requested transformation would make some objects too small to use

I fear that I have maxed out illustrator in some fashion, the illustration
has complex texture elements,many many small elements for stone/brick
texture. I will copy dismantle as best I can and see if that works, Thank
you for responding.

Error Illustrator-"Cna't paste the objects."

Our designer is using Illustrator 10, OS - Window XP Professional, HP core 2 duo, 2GB RAM, 20 GB free disk space. After using the software for a while it will give an error message when the graphic artist tries to "PLACE" a tiff file on the Illustrator software. The graphis artist also use Photoshop and is also open when this error occurs.
The exact error message is "Can't paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely out of the drawing area. "
We have another artist, the same exact installation. But does not have this problem. Please help because I cant find out why this happens. They have the same specs of computer and version of the software used. They both have different ACtions which they made for he graphic design that they do.

Try scaling the view size down to 6% or so and then do a Select All. See if there are objects off the artboard which may be causing this error. Most often you will see this if there were guides dragged from a ruler which were selected by dragging the white arrow and then deleted. This leaves the anchor points at the edge of the work area.
