How to create a PDF that is bigger than a country - or even a continent

Just don’t make a run at print it out

WTF?

Have you heard the one about the maximum size for a PDF?

She notes that 15 million inches is exactly 381 kilometers.

So, those are the claimed limitations but Chan wondered if a PDF could exceed the maximum values.

First, though, a word on creating a document that is 381 kilometers.

But users can make a page bigger by changing the MediaBox value.

To do that, you have to increase the unit size by adding a /UserUnit value.

Just don’t give a shot to print it.
