Looking for large latex file (~200 pages/1mb+) to test compression implementations

Question

as the title suggests I'm looking for latex-specific files that are around 200 pages and 1mb+ in size. I've tried looking around but I can only really find templates, and the only other idea I had would be to concatenate random latex files together. Is there a link online that has a collection of such files, or does anyone have one I could use? Thanks in advance

You can create your own if you want:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{lipsum}

egin{document}

sloppy
lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]
lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]
lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]
lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]
lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]lipsum[1-50]

end{document}

The above code produces a 230-page (~650kb) Lorem ipsum treasure trove.

Alternatively here are some documentation pages (as suggested in the comments) consisting of various text/graphic/font-rich compilations of TeX-specific elements:

• PGF manual (~1,300 pages, ~10mb, graphic rich)
• PStricks manual (~340 pages, ~5mb, graphic rich)
• memoir user guide (~600 pages, ~3mb)
• beamer user guide (~250 pages, ~2mb)
• LaTeX2e source documentation (~700 pages, ~3mb)
• TeX by Topic (~300 pages, ~1mb)
• biblatex documentation (~340 pages, ~2mb)
• Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List (~340 pages, ~9mb, font-rich)
