We have SharePoint 2013 setup with the latest version of Office Web Apps.
Our designers sometimes create PDFs that are exported from InDesign and are a size of around 170" x 170". They then upload them to SharePoint for others to view. When someone tries to open one of these PDFs, this error pops up:
If we change the size to 165" x 165" or 27,225 square inches then the PDF can be opened. We also tested a 200" by 1" and this could be opened which lead us to believe there may be an area limit.
According to this blog the limit on PDFs is 200" x 200".
Is there an area limit on PDFs for Word Web Apps?
Does anyone know of a work around?
I know we could change the library to open files in the client application but we would like to use Office Web Apps for PDFs and the designers cannot scale down their images like this.
We also tested this on Microsofts Skydrive. You will get the same error when trying to open the file there as well.
