Hi all.<br><br>I'm more interested in the SVG format, rather than the PDF format. The only reason that I prefer SVG, is that this format are best for later editing in programs like Inkscape.<br><br>And, what about Postcript format? Is strange to me, that MapServer does not have support for PS output format.<br>

I would agree that the current implementation of PDF output is not suitable for producing printed maps. I'll be looking into fixing some of the open tickets (and other bugs I've found), and intend to add some additional FORMATOPTIONs to improve the setting of scale and resolution. Hopefully the changes will make it into version 5.4 (release in first quarter of 2009?).<br>

I'm glad to hear that you'd like to work on PDF issues, that's much needed, but before you invest time in this, you should be aware that there is also a switch from pdflib to libharu in the air:<br>

Not sure if/when that's going to happen, but it may be a good idea to share your plans on the -dev list before you spend time on this.<br>
