I have a designer that created some banners for me and unfortunately she is off-grid and I have to get these printed this afternoon. When she saves them in AI she is able to save them out at 9000x21000pixels and it takes about 15minutes. When I save (File - Export) using Creative Cloud AI it comes to me in 2100x5400. I've maximized all settings to render highest quality my pixel size just won't increase.
Any ideas?
