the actual limit is roughly 16,000 pixels on the Mac
14 bits of ones in base 2 is 16,383. Thus 14 bits have 16384
different values when zero is considered one of the values, i.e. 0 to
16383 inclusive.
Think about it:
That's a 16 bit variable: A C language long-integer with the sign
ignored and bit 15 (probably) used internally by the program.
I did a test at 35,000 on the long edge and the file successfully
showed up in the printer's queue, so the limit is probably way
beyond 30,000
15 bits of ones in base 2 is 32,767. Thus 15 bits have 32768
different values when zero is considered one of the values, i.e. 0 to
32767.
I have a problem with 35,000 and suspect that you remembered incorrectly.
Adobe says that the problem is an old bug
Their old source code is probably in a mixed state -- Sometimes it
treats bit 15 with its original characteristics, and sometimes it
just wants a number greater than 16,383.
That's kind of pathetic when you consider how large a company Adobe is...
Now if they could only update my copy of Illustrator without
requiring my re-installation of it simply because I deleted the
egregious license folder...
