Interesting.

Adobe Acrobat Reader seems to have a hard limit on the size of a PDF it will display, at 200"x200". Anything larger than that that I throw at it, version 8 or 9, Windows or MacOS X, gets rendered blank, and that's the size the document properties shows. No errors given to either the user, or at the console, just... silent invisible failure.

Preview works fine, Acrobat biffs it.

Go Team Adobe. *facepalm*

IT'S YOUR GODDAMNED FORMAT YOU USELESS FREAKS!

And that is why everyone should adopt Office Open XML for their document rendering.

Because that way, when you run into problems like this, you can blame Microsoft as is right and proper.
