David, PDFs have a size limitation which has nothing to do with Legacy.
I would suggest that you have a chat with your friend as I would imagine his plotter will also print JPGs. Ask him to give you the name of the printer driver and download it to your PC then publish your chart as a JPG to that plotter at the size you require.

Ok then, simple I thought since I'm using Legacy 7.5 deluxe, I'll just give Legacy Charting a run. A friend has access to a Plotter printer, so I thought the PDF file save feature would be ideal in the charting software. The chart was relatively easy to create, and I did get 10 generations, which was ideal for my wants. However when I tried to save as a PDF I get the error message "PDF page width limit is 200 inches". Now I have searched the archives for similar queries, but they were a few years back, and I wondered if others have a modern work around, or an answer for me. Perish the thought that I might have to go searching for different software, but I admit to being stumped; I can get the chart I want on the screen but can't save it ! I'd be interested in your answers.
