       |  _"PDF-Dokumente konnen mehrere hunderttausend Seiten umfassen.
       | Dabei ist die Seitengrosse durch das Format selbst nicht
       | begrenzt. In Adobe Acrobat gibt es jedoch durch die
       | Implementierung bedingte Grenzen"_
       | 
       | Translation: PDF documents can contain hundreds of thousands of
       | pages. The format does not limit page size. Adobe Acrobat has
       | implementation limits, though.
       | 
       | Also, nitpick: 381km is almost 1% of the circumference of earth.
       | Because of that, shouldn't that square bulge a bit on that map?
