Appendix C of the PDF reference states that the maximum pageheight is 
200in and \maxdimen weighs in at around 226.7in; hence the missing text.  
With Adobe Reader it is possible to obtain an outsize display of around 
700in by using annotations that lie off the page, but said annotations 
won't be visible by other viewers and so the approach is non portable.
