Getting "This file cannot be found" when saving a new file. Can't save my ai file.
Title says it all.

Well, that is not resolving the issue with the app. While yes, restarting the application would allow you to start saving again, this is a bug and should be resolved by Adobe. Ability to save your work is the most basic function of any application, and losing your work is catastrophic in terms of the severity of the bug.
Before you close the app and lose your unsaved work, create a new file with the same dimension and copy/paste everything from the artboard that is not saving. Save the new file.

I was able to resolve the issue by closing the program down and restarting it. It sucks, but that also meant losing progress on the file. Tis life, I guess.

Hello. I have experienced the same issue at 2 different times now. In both cases I left the file open over night. The computer does not (did not) go to sleep or hibernate. And so coming back to it next day, making changes and then was unable to Save, Save As or Export.

I just got this today. It doesn't matter if I save as an AI file or try to export as a PDF, I still get "This file cannot be found." I can export as a Photoshop file without the error, but if I use "Save As", I get the error and can't save the work I created. After restarting AI, I don't get the error, but I lost all the work I did.

Laura, do other save options work for you? Save As, Save a Copy, saving in other formats than .ai?
