[AD Can't export to PDF]

Can anyone shed any light on this? I'm trying to export my design to PDF except without fail, it will tell me an error has occurred. I have no idea what this error is, it's just decided to do this now I have a deadline to meet...

[Using a raster brush in AD doesn't extend to the bleed]

Hi, I was wondering if someone can help me out. I'm creating a magazine cover and have a 3mm bleed set up. I have a vector object that extends to the bleed. However, in pixel persona when I use a raster texture brush within the vector object, it doesn't extend to the bleed, it stays within the boundary of the canvas.

 

Is there a setting or something I've missed? I have a deadline to meet this weekend and can't figure this out!
