In PDF Version 1.6 (Acrobat 7.0) and newer the theoretical PDF page size is 15,000,000"x15,000,000"

Or roughly 1,250,000ft x 1,250,000ft
Or roughly 236.7mi x 236.7mi
Or roughly 380.9km x 380.9km
...
Or (if math is right) 2,406,417,112,299 sheets of A4 paper?

Nevermind, Alex Chan proved you can actually far exceed that. They were capable of creating a PDF larger than the entire universe – 37,000,000,000,000 light years square.

They even made it available for download 😂😂😂

"Hate them – they sympathize with threat actors, foreign adversaries, and their memes suck. Actively distributing malware source code and builders is borderline criminal, they're doing more harm than good"

(just repeat the same stuff everyone else criticizes us for)

Oh god, one of our typos is actually in a legitimate judiciary hearing. Now actual court officials, lawyers, and possibly a jury are going to see our dumbass typoes.

We got another 1,800,000+ malware samples cookin'.
