How large can a PDF file be?

This question is not just strictly about the spec, it's also about what the most common readers will accept.
So the file offsets are 10-digit numbers, is the maximum safe offset 2,147,483647 or 4,294,967,296 or 9,999,999,999?
I understand about "large" files and older OSs and so on, and I don't care about ancient lame OSs with 32-bit max file sizes...

PDF 1.0 through 1.4 uses 10 digit offsets, which is an unsigned integer (so 9,999,999,999).  PDF 1.5 and later support a new type of offset that doesn't have any such limitation and is a 64-bit unsigned integer.
Assuming a modern OS, file system, and disk format, Adobe Acrobat/Reader supports PDFs using the newer offset up to their full 64bit lengths.  I can't common on any other company's products.

  • How large can a PDF be?

    I have 50 large PowerPoint files that I want to combine all their slides into a single PDF, is this possible. How large of a file can the adobe software handle, I suspect the final PDF will be large, about 3 gigabytes and 1,200 slides. Yes this is large but can the software handle it without any problems?
    Is it possible to create links in the pdf to access certain points in this large file. What software program would best handle my project. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks David at Email [email protected]

  • I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    I need to convert PDF file to Word Document, so it can be edited. But the recognizing text options do not have the language that I need. How I can convert the file in the desired of me language?

    The application Acrobat provides no language translation capability.
    If you localize the language for OS, MS Office applications, Acrobat, etc to the desired language try again.
    Alternative: transfer a copy of content into a web based translation service (Bing or Google provides a free service).
    Transfer the output into a word processing program that is localized to the appropriate language.
    Do cleanup.
    Be well...

    I have an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1 and iBooks version 2.1.1. I have 64GB of storage, 80% is used. iBooks is using 250MB of storage. I have a large number of PDF files in my iBooks library. At this time I can not add another book or PDF file to my library.  When I try to move a PDF file to iBooks the system works for a while...sometimes the file appears and than disappears....sometimes the file never appears. Is ther some limit to the number of books or total storage used in IBooks?  Thanks....

    Hi jybravo70, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may be experiencing issues on your non iOS 8 devices because iOS 8 is required to set up or join a Family Sharing group.
    The following information is located in the print at the bottom of the article. 
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

    Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

  • Can anyone tell me how to send a PDF file so that it opens up in the body of the email itself? Thanks

    Can anyone tell me how to send a PDF file so that it opens up in the body of the email itself? Thanks

    That is a function of the recipient's e-mail software understanding what your software sent.  If it doesn't it will always show as an icon or attachment.   It is also a function of both your internet provider and their internet provider accepting messages of that size, and a function of their download attachment settings in their e-mail program.  There is no way to guarantee it will appear inline in the attachment.   The best you can do is attach with Windows Friendly format.  To do that, use the attach toolbar icon that looks like a paperclip, (View menu -> Customize toolbar if invisible) on Mac OS X Mail when composing the message.   A checkbox appears in the file dialog box's bottom to make it Windows friendly when you navigate to pick the PDF file.  That makes it as universally compatible as possible.  It still may not appear inline, but at least you are less likely to be incompatible.

  • I'm wondering if i can upload .pdf file to iCloud?? How?

    i'm wondering if i can upload .pdf file to iCloud?? How?

    icloud was never set up to be your storage for PDF's, has completely different purpose, but if that is so important to you to have those pdf's in icloud - email them to your icloud mail account, if size permits. Emails will also be accessible for opening or deletion. Try to realize that icloud is not an app like Kindle, but rather online storage/sync service for certain things. You also can probably find an app in app store that would support holding pdf's and using icloud to sync over devices, or app that uses NON Apple storage means. Like Dropbox for example. If you download that kind of App - you may also get a free storage upgrade from those apps. I have seen such offers.
