LOL.  I see a #2 in our future... ;)

Edit:  Note that the official PDF Tag Name documentation (https://exiftool.org/TagNames.pdf) is currently only 557 pages.  Maybe this source is using a larger font.

It looks like the command they used was
curl -s <link to Arch man page> | man -Tpdf -l - > file.pdf

So whatever size man uses.

Right.

We should actually be in 2nd place already because the exiftool and API man pages are 40 and 37 pages respectively they way I generate them.  They say they are including only the largest man page in a package to avoid duplication, but there is no overlap between these.
