   The issue now is that you still get the "file cannot be saved" error when you save, but if you try to save again immediately after it works. Please look into this as the issue is not resolved, at least on MacOS 10.14.6

    Done (In Beta)  ·  AdminIllustrator Engineering (Software Engineer, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    I am excited to announce that 'Scale artwork with Artboard' feature is now available in Illustrator Beta. To access it, open the Creative Cloud app and go to "Beta apps" and install "Illustrator (Beta)" . New Preference in Properties panel is added to control scaling of artboard content while scaling artboard.

    Scaling of strokes , effects and patterns during artboard scaling can also be controlled from transform panel .

    
    

    We look forward to your feedback on this new feature in Illustrator.

    
    

    Regards,

    Under Review  ·  AdminEgor Chistyakov (Admin, Adobe Illustrator) responded

    There is no true PDF Export in Illustrator, because Illustrator allows to have editable PDFs with .ai-content stored within. Other apps does not allow that, and some users heavily rely on editable PDFs.

    Attemps to solve this were made, but there is no clear solution so far. Still we hope to find one.

    The intended way to get a PDF (without loosing your data) at the moment would be to use Save a Copy command that saves a separate copy of your file to PDF instead of Save As which keeps a saved file open.
