Why is illustrator crashing when trying to export .ai file as a .psd

I am trying to export a fairly small .ai file (1mb) to a layered psd file. My computer has over 100gb of memory and during export says startup disk full then crashes illustrator and my file is not exported. I have exported with all rgb settings

Here is an example of what I am trying to create... this brochure shows only the front cover as a single page, same with the back cover...
http://www.thebeardmore.com/conference-brochure/
my document is adding a extra white page next to the front and back cover changing them into spreads...
C:\Users\RBrown\Desktop\1.html
I have read an srticle which says you cant do anything about this... but then how has it been achieved in the example I have found online above?!
Can anyone help me with this please?!?!

Illustrator crashes when trying to export to png

My issue is pretty straightforward, I cannot export to PNG unless I trash the Illustrator preferences (located in: user/Library/Preferences/Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings/en_US/) BEFORE I start Illustrator. As soon as I close Illustrator, I must delete those preferences again the next time I start up the program or I won't be able to export a file.
- I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I was having the same issues in Lion
- I have uninstalled the whole CS6 Creative Suite and reinstalled (literally deleting every single Adobe file in the Library folder) still the same issue
- It seems to only be PNG files that I can't export to. If I try and make it a JPG it will export (I do commonly need to export with transparency so JPGs won't work for many things I need to export)
I can't think of anything else to do. Thoughts?

I've been having this exact same problem with CS5 on Mountain Lion. Anything that rasterizes the artwork causes it to hang. Export (PNG), Save for Web, Filters like Drop Shadow or Gaussian Blur (even when just checking the preview box).
If I delete the preferences it works fine for one run of the app, then it happens again.
Temporary Fix (kinda lame)
1. Edit the contents of the Preferences File in a text editor and remove everything (0 bytes, blank file).
2. Open the Info box and lock the file.
Your preferences will stop saving, and the issue will go away, but now non of your preferences will save, you'll be reset every time you open the app.
I will continue to diagnose and see if I can narrow down the area of the config that is breaking things.
I would love a solution for this.

This solution is for CS5, do you have a solution for CS6?

Lightroom crashes when trying to export any files

When I try to export retouched files to hard drive files my Mac crashes and has to be force quitted. I thought this maybe a L'room 4 problem so I bought L'room 5 and it's still happening. What can I do?

Thank you very much for your reply.
You say I may not have enough resources and I wondered if I should tell you what I've got.
I'm on an Early 1998 Mac Pro with 2x2.8 GHz quad-core Intel Xeon processors with 2gb of ram.
I'm running it on OSX 10.8.4.
Would more memory help as I can't afford a new Mac.

Premiere Pro CC crashes when trying to Export Media

I really hope someone can help me with this.
I bought a brand new Dell XPS 15 because I will be studying multimedia production next year. Next week I'm registering for the art school and I'll be able to buy a CC student license. I installed the Creative Cloud Trial Version because I couldn't wait to check out the new features in Photoshop and Premiere Pro. However after working on a Premiere Pro project for several hours, the program crashed when trying the Export>Media function.
As soon as I hit Export>Media in every project I make in Premiere Pro, the following dialog box pops up: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.". I'm not able to export my project, not even by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M.
I already tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, without any luck. Any idea what could be causing this? I really need this fixed before school starts, so help is much appreciated.
Here are my system specs:
- Intel Core i7-4712HQ processor
- 16GB DDR3L RAM
- Nvidia GeForce GT750M 2GB
- 500GB SSD
Thanks to everyone willing to take a look at my problem.

Hi John,
Thanks for your response. I checked all those links but I'm afraid none of those solves my problem. My GPU drivers are up to date and changing BIOS settings to fixed to disable Nvidia Optimus doesn't work as well.
I checked Windows Event Viewer and the error shows as following:

That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this

IDCS3 crashes when trying to Export or PDF.
What are the steps I should take to resolve this?
Thanks!

figured it out:
- power off mac and turn back on while holding down Command + R (dont do it on an external keyboard just to be safe)
- choose the re-install Lion option (I'm sure there is another way to re-install Lion, this is just the way I did it, not saying its the best or only method)
- DO NOT INSTALL MACBOOK (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0 - THIS SCREWS ADOBE UP!

INdesign CS3 suddenly crashes when trying to export pdfs

I have exported PDF-x1as from Indesign for years with no issues. Suddenly today, indesign crashes when I select EXPORT. I have indesign CS3 on a macbook pro running 10.5.8.
I work from home, and have to get some pretty huge projects out to the printer, and so I'm getting nervous about this not workling!! I'm trying to remain calm.
I've restarted indesign with the control, option, and shift keys down, supposedly renewing the prefs. When that didn't work, I reinstalled it from my original disks. Still doing the same thing.
Please say someone knows a fix!!!

ok - I've spent countless hours now searching for an answer. I was about to upgrade to snow leopard hoping that would solve this issue, when, buried deep somewhere in these forums, I found the solution that, at least so far, has worked for me! Here it is, in case anyone else is having issues:

Illustrator crashes when opening Flash-exported SVG

Illustrator (latest CC version) always crashes when I try to open a Flash-exported SVG. It doesn't matter if I try to open it directly or import to a blank document. Other SVGs open well. I've already disabled all non-essential Windows 7 services. Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

What do Windows services have to do with any of that? I've tried anything that could help at Entre em contato com o Atendimento ao cliente! Maybe you never had any trouble with Illustrator before... The whole thing is as simple as this: any software shouldn't crash while opening a file with incompatible data (it should warn and abort the operation)! And actually Illustrator opens every SVG file correctly, but those exported by Flash Professional. The file data should be correct, since any other SVG-compatible software can open those images. Any software, but Adobe Illustrator... You can see at Re: Is there a way to save out/export vector art from Flash CC to open as vector art in Illustrator CC? that Flash Professional's SVG export feature should allow a Flash-Illustrator workflow. It doesn't, at least on my system. I've described in few words the steps to reproduce the error: latest CC software, Windows 7 system, no matter any other service, export SVG from Flash (tried different options), open with Illustrator, unexpected crash. I haven't attached the files because the forum does not allow this. They're here: http://www.caritasinveritate.teo.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/1.svg and http://www.caritasinveritate.teo.br/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/transparencia1.svg

Premiere CC 7.2.2 crashes when trying to export via Media Encoder and Encore crashes while DVD build

Hello,
My computer is a:
2x Intel Xeon Processor E5-2650 (2000 MHz, 20MB);
16x Kingston DIMM 8 GB PC3-8500 ECC Reg.;
PNY Quadro 4000 with 2048 MB GDDR5-RAM;
PNY Tesla C 2075
2x 2000 GB Western Digital RE4 (7200 UPM/S-ATA II) as a RAID I
1x 120 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
1x 240 GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD (system disk)
Tyan S7050GM4NR motherboard
Windows 7
I freshly installed Windows 7 and the CC-Apps PremierePro, After Effects, Media Encoder, Photoshop and Speedgrade.
When I try to export any video from premiere to the media encoder premiere crashes without any error message. The problem is not the project: I created several new projects and even if I only have one Graphic-File/Bars/h264-video in the timeline that I try to export: premiere crashes. When I export directly from premiere it works, but there is no chance to go via media encoder. The strange thing is that I can export from after effects to the media encoder without any problem...
Second Problem: Encore crashes also. Everytime I try to build a DVD => Encore crashes
Does anybody have an idea?
Here is what I already tried:
Yesterday it worked fine today it crashes when I export from premiere via media encoder.
1. Bars+Tone => export => crash
2. Video Project with 2 short h264-files => export => crash
3. I used Software only renderer => crash
This is the Windows log that I found:

CS 3 InDesign Crashes when trying to Export To PDF

Our File Problem
Dell Microsoft XP service pack 2
Mac Intel Duo, Tiger
CS3 Fully Updated as of 3/17/08
CS2 Fully Updated as of 3/20/08
The problem first arose back when we upgraded to CS3, we found that files inside our document were crashing InDesign CS3 when we went to print or export the document as a pdf, the file originally made an interchange file which we could work with in CS2 so we went back and avoided CS3 until the catalog was finished.
The problem arose again after we started using CS3 again, but not right away. Many documents have been built and exported and printed with no problem. I was able to find and fix the problem through a piece by piece removal process of elimination. I isolated the problem link, opened it in photoshop, made a new psd file and saved the new file with a different name. Problem solved.
The problem became more complicated recently when I created a document, filled it with links, exported the file, changed nothing but copy in the document went to export and the document crashed InDesign. I then started the process of elimination and found that the problem link was different every time, and when placed into another fresh document would export just fine. All of the links were re-created in photoshop and used to create another document. The document was re created on other machines, everything went well until drop shadows were added into the document, then it crashed InDesign and could not be exported to PDF. We then took the same document, with the drop shadows, exported it in Interchange to CS2 and the document exported just fine to PDF.
As a test on the drop shadow issue, we took a number of different files and tested these in CS2 and CS3 with and without drop shadows. Every file we tried in CS2 worked fine with and without a drop shadow. However ,we experienced a number of crashed of InDesign with the drop shadows on these files in CS3. It seems to be just a portion of images, of a certain type of product we carry, but other than that there is no consistency to what is causing the crash. We also tested other effects and had the same results with InDesign CS3 crashing.
The other issue we see with this is that before the 1st of the year, we were able to export the same images in InDesign with the drop shadows and other effects. It seems that since the first of the year, the same images are not longer able to export from CS3 to a PDF. A couple of the possible thoughts we had were that there was an issue with recent updates in CS3, to test this we are going to uninstall CS3 and reinstall without running updates. We also are going to try to recreate the files that crashed InDesign and see if they can crash again on export.
Has anybody else experienced any similar issues? Does anybody know of a way to identify the problem in CS3 or with our files other than through trial and error? This is a major issue and problem for us since we are primarily a catalog based business and cannot have out catalog crash unexpectedly when we spend months working on it.
This problem is also not operating system specific, it is happening on both machines listed above

Dean,
We found that the issue is a bug in the program, and this was the response i Got from an Adobe guy:
Initial Response:
Thank you very much. Weve been able to reproduce the crash. It appears the underlying bug is triggered by having tall narrow PSD images and transparency effects (i.e. drop shadow). Well be working to further understand the root cause, and then working on a fix for a future release/update.
In the interim the best workaround I can come up with is to rotate the canvas in Photoshop 90 degrees so the image is short and wide, and then rotate it -90 degrees in InDesign after placing so you get the vertical orientation you want. The bug is triggered when processing the data as saved by Photoshop, so avoiding the tall and narrow psd should avoid the bug.
Im sorry to not have an easier workaround or immediate fix. Please let me know if you encounter any new crashes. Ill let you know if our further investigation changes our understanding of the root cause of the bug.
Second response:
Well, I have a bit more info. Switching from a tall narrow image size to a short and wide one should avoid the crash for any specific image that crashed when tall and narrow, but unfortunately the root cause of the bug is in code that could potentially be triggered by any image. It appears to be exceptionally rare for other image proportions, but it is still theoretically possible. It just turns out its much more likely for a tall narrow CMYK+Alpha image.
So, as it stands I dont have a 100% guaranteed way to avoid this crash, but it should be much less common for short and wide images. If you do encounter the crash, switching the orientation should avoid the crash. Hopefully the orientation workaround will allow you to be productive with InDesign until a future release contains the fix.
Hope that helps
