Question

Is there a page size limit when exporting a pdf from InDesign?

My indd file is 201x40 inches with a 1.5 inch slug. When I export to pdf I get this message, "The document page size exceeds the page size range supported in PDF files. Exported pages will be resized to fit within PDF limits."

    I think the limit is still 200". I haven't tested recently but your message tends to make me think it is still the limit.

    Thank you, I think you may be right. In my research for this question, I kept seeing that there is no limit to a pdf size. Strange that InDesign page limit is around 216" and acrobat is less, I thought they were supposed to work together.

      hi Jms: Why do you need the ID page size so big? If its for a banner (eg), most designers will design a banner that size at half or 1/4 the size, export the pdf and inform the printer.
