Hi guys,

I made and Illustrator artboard which is 550 cm x 220 cm. I read in many threads that the maximum is 577 cm. I am far away from that and still get the death message "The dimensions of this page are out off allowed range". I really need to export it as PDF a vector format not JPG or PNG since is a billboard and if if not vector details will be lost or resolution as JPG will be monstruous. Everything is scaled 10%. In theory it should work, but it doesn't.

Here is a screen capture

and here is the file if somebody kind enough would detect if i am doing something wrong.

    I think 508 cm (200 inches) is the limit.

    the maximum is 200 inches, or 508 cm. this is based on a historical limit in postscript
