As DIGITAL publishers we work with PDFs all of the time. Sherry noted that the 200" limit is a PDF limit. This is true. The actual file specification for PDF (the file spec is open source) notes this.
Even if you created a PDF from InDesign or Illustrator you cannot go beyond this limit. - If anyone finds a work around we'd be very interested in knowing. Keep in mind too, that 200" is over 16'! When I have needed a really xtra-large chart I do it in InDesign and set each page to be 192" (16') wide. Then spread the chart over two or more pages. David M.

Any JPG file is usually too big and if I reduce the size it becomes unreadable. Is there any way I can produce a pdf over 200 inches wide?
