The size of default user space units in multiples of a
point.
This value must be greater than or equal to 1.0. If not provided
the default of 1.0 is used.
This property represents a global scaling factor that multiplies
the default coordinate system, where 1 unit normally equals 1/72 of
an inch.
By default, this value is one, but increasing it makes every
user-space unit represent a larger physical distance effectively
scaling up the entire page and all its content without altering any
of the underlying numeric coordinate values.
Its primary purpose is to bypass a hard limit in the PDF
specification that restricts any page to a maximum of 14,400 user
units (200 inches) in each direction, allowing specialized
applications like CAD to create enormous drawings by using a small
coordinate box paired with a large UserUnit multiplier.
While useful for large-format documents it is not a
general-purpose zoom tool but rather a workaround for the PDF
specifications page-size constraint and its use remains relatively
niche.
