I am having trouble with elements that are on and near the edge of the Artboard being cut off when I go to save the image.

For example: Let's say I create the document with an Artboard size of 800 by 800 and then I create a Rectangle shape that is also 800 by 800 and I Align it perfectly and then I proceed to add elements near the edge plus a Stroke to the Rectangle, rather it's inside or outside, and then I go to save the image as a .png (or whatever) the Stroke and objects near and on the edge get cut off.

And no matter what I do I cannot make the Artboard just a few pixels (or whatever) less or more and I cannot extend the rectangle just a few px's less or more to make up for whatever is happening.

So, I have looked and looked through the (ever elusive), Adobe Illy Manual for an answer but have not been able to come close to an answer/solution. This has now (at this very moment), made me wonder if one can work with Illy without an Artboard so that this problem will ... well, not be a problem.

I have even tried using an Artboard much bigger than I need and then fitting the Artboard to the Selected Artwork but I still end up with the same problem.

Thank you so much for reading my long post. I appreciate your time and efforts to help me navigate this annoying issue. Be well,
Kara
