Any document larger than the two standard paper sizes (8.5″ x 11 legal size, 8.5″ x 11 letter size) is considered to be a large format document.
A few typical examples of large format documents includes:
- Architectural blueprints
- Engineering diagrams/drawings
- Large non-standard book pages
- Newspaper sheets
- Maps
- Schematics
The main reason for the “large format document” distinction is the need for special scanning and printing equipment when working with oversized documents.
