@elliots I mean technically as in thing you could theoretically do but there’s no way your computer would actually load  @MrAndrewD Wikipedia posted it on their account on another platform. I’ve been down some silly Wikipedia rabbit holes but never that one   Pretty good idea !!! Text suggestions: Design suggestions? [note to me: we need to stitch 2 prints]     @joannaholman that makes me think of Anoto's dot grid setup for digital ink (grid has a background pattern of varying-offset dots visible in IR, pens have IR cameras that record strokes based on the background pattern, Anoto licenses 'regions' to different licensees so there's not overlap between different companys' forms). @joannaholman this is the largest physical size supported by Acrobat, though, not a limit in PDF itself. Acrobat is only one of many PDF viewers.  @barefootliam @joannaholman afair PDF is 10digits (as an ASCII representation of number is used) and Implementation Limits list signed 32bit for numbers) @joannaholman wow. Now I want someone to work out what that document could be? How many books, libraries, websites worth of information?   |
@joannaholman Or maybe not!: "Page dimensions are not limited by the format itself. However, Adobe Acrobat imposes a limit of 15 million by 15 million inches, or 225 trillion in2 (145,161 km2).[2]"
