After I save an Illustrator file to a PDF format and then try to "autosave" the document, Illustrator saves it as a PDF instead of overwriting the .ai file. This causes problems for me because I save PDF's without editing capabilities, I would like to know if there is an automated way for Illustrator to save to an .ai file instead of overwriting the pdf.
