Page dimensions are not limited by the format itself. However, Adobe Acrobat imposes a limit of 15 million in by 15 million in, or 225 trillion in2 (145,161 km2). 👀

Because Acrobat is designed for the ancient ritual of “printing” which used rectangular pieces of pressed plant fibre that didn’t even have any pixels and needed to be measured with sticks with lines on them.

I remember when HP printers had an option to automatically print the news out for you every morning, as if you couldn't just read it off the screen.

Don't even get me started on my dad, who printed every email and read them to us at the dinner table.

There's not much to say. No one cared. We just ate our dinner and let him do his thing.
