Hi everybody,

I read about the PDF-export. Very interesting feature.

In the same context I would like to ask if somebody knows a way to save the 
current view (from a user perspective) in the original format, i.e. TIFF 
and Shapefile. I know that this feature exists with ArcIMS. It is a very 
neat one if one wants to enable users to download customized views. Is 
there a "clip by rectangle/view" function or something similar?

Thanks for any reply,

Stefan
