[mapserver-users] PDF Output: How?

[Antti.Roppola at brs.gov.au]

Concidentally, Rasmus was here this week and talked about this. :o)

Have a look at slide 51 onward at http://conf.php.net/oz2002/
(BTW, I couldn't get the slide browser to work under IE, only  Netscape).

Slide 57 has an example of placing an image into a PDF.
Putting Mapserver stuff into a PDF this way looks to be easy (it's on my
list of things to try). Keeping vector map layers as vectors using
SVG or something would be cooler still.

The Shockwave stuff is even more interesting, animated maps anyone?

Cheers,

Antti
