200" Inch Limit in generating a PDF from an NX Drawing in 7.0 and all versions higher?

200" Inch Limit in generating a PDF from an NX Drawing in 7.0 and all versions higher?

(OP)
Okay folks, this one has more than a few people scratching their heads in a few states:

Have created a Sheet that is 914 MM by 6589 MM in NX 7.0, and I go to FILE, EXPORT, PDF to create a PDF. Do I get a PDF that is approx. 36" by 260"? No, I get a approx. 27" by 200". I take a look at the properties of the PDF (to check what PDF standard that NX 7.0 used) - and it is PDF 1.6 (which should be post the 200" by 200" limit of PDFs 1.0 to 1.5). However, it appears that NX is still using the previous Adobe standards.

(Standard in question, see page 129 of http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/pdfs/adobe_supplement_iso32000.pdf - Appendix C, Section 177)

Before anyone asks, already talked to GTAC, and they are waiting on the developers. I have management to answer to locally, so... hoping for a Hail Mary pass here at Eng-Tips. Anyone had to deal with this answer in NX 7.0 (or higher) and have a setting buried somewhere in the NX code that can be "tweaked" so it can conform to the newer PDF standard?
