It's probably resource limited (eg, you run out of memory, you can't add more pages).

However, I thought "Good grief! What are they going to write? "War and Peace"?   Which was a mistake, because I then had to google the text of Tolstoy's epic novel and paste it into Prime ...

It took some time for Prime to go through the process of pasting, but it ended up with 1141 pages.    This is about 5 times the number of pages of the longest worksheet I've written and most are less than 50 pages.

I've never (heard of anyone) run into a limitation on the number of pages.

Why your question?

There's no upper limit, but Prime gets very slow for large (10s of pages) worksheets. That will be fixed in the next release.

Oh, I don't know.  It just depend upon how you define "slow".  For example, I opened a 110 page Prime 3.1 document and it only took 1 hour to scroll a couple of lines.  Now, in geological terms that's pretty damn fast!   Then I tried adding a few lines ...
