Illustrator CS4: SVG Export error "Transforms are Expanded"?

export svg adobe-illustrator

I just randomly tried this and it worked! I'm able to save the SVG without getting the "Transforms are expanded." error message. I can't explain why it works, but it does.

Try the following:

Object > Select all > Flatten transparency (high res) > Save!

Hope this helps anyone in the future!


I found out that Illustrator was translating my whole image by about 500 pixels or so downwards and to the left, for some reason. So, loading the exported image looked like a blank canvas, but expanding the work area (when re-opening in Illustrator) revealed my whole image just "off the screen". I selected and moved it back, then re-saved the SVG (saved, not exported), and it works fine now.

Kinda five extra steps, but hey, at least it works. Don't know why Illustrator felt the need to translate the position of my entire image...
