From wikipedia about PDF:

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

Who cares what Adobe says. Let's just cover the entire earth.

Well, that's just Acrobat's fault for not supporting the spec. How else can I convert Europe to PDF?

Nope. You would probably need several maps to cover them. Those outdated imperial measurements of "15 million inch" are about 380km. Probably three sheets high and two sheets wide.

Charles de Gaul, continuing the train being run on your mother, looks you dead in the eye and reminds you France lost 1.4 million soldiers defeating Germany in World War I

Is he really seen as a great military leader or conqueror? I mean outside of France.
