MAKING A PDF THAT’S LARGER THAN GERMANY

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

A couple of years back, a tweet claimed that the maximum size of a PDF is half of Germany. This post dives into this claim and proves how big PDFs can actually be. It also explains the inner structure of PDFs and how you can change page sizes. Most PDF sizes are limited only by the PDF reader and not the PDF itself. Turns out, the biggest size of a PDF is 15 million inches, or roughly the distance of Earth to the moon.
