[Mapserver-users] raster layers in PDF output don't get cropped

[Jeff Hamm]

Rusty;

Does your application provide explicit extents to Mapserver to
(re)process the map as PDF output?

I don't believe Mapserver is capable of reading the extents from a
raster layer ( see http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc/wms-server-howto.htm
) :

      Note: wms_extent MUST be provided for raster layers
      in the current version since MapServer probing rasters
      for their extents is on the TODO list!

I wonder if Mapserver has to reprocess the PNG to create a PDF output,
and in so doing loses the EXTENTS for your output.
