[mapguide-users] Print Layout - 2 questions...

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

Yes, you can specify DPI in the querystring with the parameter DPI.
There are no PDF tools present in MapGuide, so you would have to build 
that yourself, or use a thirdparty PDF library.
The image you can get from MapGuide is a plain image, and can easily be 
inserted into a PDF or other document.
You can see the querystring for on, if you right click on a map image in 
the "Print preview".
