    Default HELP!!! "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties"

    I am using Illustrator 10 I keep getting this message on a couple of my illustrator files.

    "Acrobat PDF File Format is having difficulties. Unable to open file for writing. It may be locked or unavailable."

    I have quite a few linked files, could this be part of the problem? I have made sure they are all linked and not placed. If I copy the work into a new file it will be ok for a couple of days, but then I will get this error message again when trying to save.

    Please help, this is really frustrating

    Rachael,

    Try emptying your Temp folder (what version of Windows do you use?) Also you might close Illustrator, even reboot and see if it's not available now.
