[Mapserver-users] Terra Server WMS

[Dylan Keon]

Hi Debbie,

I use PDFlib (pdflib.com) compiled into PHP.  I grab whatever map image 
is currently being generated, along with the legend and scalebar images, 
and have some code that positions the various images and text the way I 
want them.  I use pdf_get_buffer() to store the completed PDF as a 
session variable (instead of writing the PDF file to disk), then echo 
that variable in a new pop-up window after setting the header info.

Some other listers are doing similar things with PDFlib.

The catch with PDFlib is that it's released under the Aladdin license, 
which is somewhat restrictive.  For commercial applications you need to 
purchase a license, but for education/research it's ok to use it without 
purchasing a license.  At least that's how I read it :-)
