Hi there

I am trying to export a billboard in Designer as a pdf but it keeps telling me the dimensions of this page are out of range. Page content might be truncated?

The document size is 714 x 360 cm with 20mm bleed. Surely the size should not matter?

I am working on a iMac running OS Catalina 10.15 7 (I cant update to the latest OS)

I need to make a pdf to send to production and printing but I can get it to save the pdf for me to send to my client. This is so frustrating.

I have tried numerous times using various options but it just won't save the whole document. The pdf is cut off on the right side

I have attached various screenshots and the pdf that is wrong which will hopefully explain why I cant do this?? Please help I am desperate and this urgent.

Kind regards

Debbie Snoek

Its 300 dpi but totally a vector file. I actually re-did the artwork to 50% and made the pdf again and that worked.

But that doesn't tell why I cant just save the pdf to the size I was working in.

Because the physical dimensions of a PDF file are limited, as part of the definition of the file format.

Thanks for your reply, so where can I find out the maximum size one can work to that you can still export to pdf? 

Do you know? I’ve only got Acrobat reader.

The web is your friend.

Do a search for, e.g, maximum pdf page dimension and you should find your answer.

Google?, for example https://www.cadzation.com/help/pdfpagesize.htm

Try changing the pdf version.
