Long story short: the original tweet makes a confusion between PDF (the file format) and adobe acrobat (the PDF reader) : the 381km2 is an acrobat limit, not a PDF limit

Funny document, still

I don’t think the tweet is relevant at all and it’s a disservice to this post to feature it that prominently in a summary. A more interesting conclusion is that PDF files can have dimensions larger than the Universe, and an example is provided.

Interesting, I always though Acrobat was the reference implementation of PDF.
