[mapserver-users] PDF output again

[Carlo A. Bertelli]

Hello,

Some months ago I asked for pdf output from MapServer and a short thread
started but nor I nor anyone known to the list came out with a solution to
have vector graphics inside a pdf as a result of a MapServer query.
Now, I think there is no need to extend MapServer to become a pdf server; a
different cgi, which could accept MapServer commands without need for some
interactive part could be produced, substituting pdflib for gd. A button or
a link in the interface displaying the gif/png map could just call this cgi
in a new window with the same map in a vector containing PDF.
Just a suggestion for a hack...

Carlo
