i was just reading on the adobe support forums that that might just be a cosmetic error. save it as that pdf option and see if it doesn't turn out to be an .ai file.

looks kinda buggy... restart? repair permissions? all that jazz.. ?
the menu normally says "Illustrator Document" and "Adobe PDF" so like greedo said prob a cosmetic glitch.
+ i bet if you save and change the .pdf to .ai it'll really be a native .ai file.

thanks. i know, it is really ai file, but it's a bit irritating tho. have re-installed illustrator, even done clean install, nothing seems to help.

bump
is it possible to fix the "cosmetic"error?

I don't know but when you save an AI as PDF compatbile (default) - it may as well be a pdf... just save as pdf! you won't lose data

From what I can understand here you have no problem elms.
Illustrator saves in that PDF compatible format as standard. The resulting file is .ai, and just like being able to save an empty docment - it's just the way Illustrator is now...

thank you all.
well, yea, it's not a big problem, just a little bug.
PS:
Solution 2: Create a new user account and run Illustrator under the new account.

that doesn't help
