Should we limit the PDF export size by default?

Actually in a previous reply I’ve proposed the following which is needed IMO (whatever other option we choose from your list):

@vmassol

What’s the most important to me is that a user who gets the message should understand what it means and what to do to solve the problem. We need to consider the 2 cases: the user is an Admin, the user is not an Admin. If he’s an Admin then provide a link to the Admin UI to change the the default limit value. If he’s not an Admin provide the explanations to give to an Admin.

I think I’d be ok with the following to 5MB, if we also have the message improvement above:

@mflorea

Increase the limit, from 100KB to something else, say 1MB or 5MB

Ideally, I would have liked to set the limit to 0 but my fear is that this could create more easily some DDOS attacks (more easily since there are less request to do) if the admin user doesn’t configure it, and thus it’s probably safer to set a default value. But again what’s important is for users to understand what they can do if it fails. That’s the key for me.

Thanks
