Theoretically the file size is subject to the amount of hard disk space available to you. Although you can create PDFs of extraordinary size, in practicality it is best to create several smaller files you can link to via boomark links. Viewing and searching PDFs of smaller sizes will move much faster than viewing and searching a single large document.

The problem is scanning the images at both a high resolution and the amount of documents for one client's trial. I understand I could organized the files by time period, doctor, motion, disease, expert, facts, or evidence.
However, the specs are sharp searchable images in a PDF format by one trial.
Just eyeballing the stacks of pages, I would guess about 2,000 pages of text and pictures.
Will I be warned or prompted when I have reached the limits or will I simply lockup and loose my work?
