[mapserver-users] Status of Postscript support in MapServer

Hi Everyone,

I'm considering the use of MapServer in an application that generates small
maps that are included in printed documents.  Currently these maps are
generated by GMT as .eps files, a format which makes then very easy to
insert into the report.  I would like to know how people feel about the
current state of PDF support provided by MapServer, and whether anyone is
using it in a similar fashion.

I found a document on the MapServer site titled, "PDF Output", which was
last updated in 2006, and which contains several caveats regarding
unsupported features, ie "symbol-filled polygons, legends and scalebars".
Are any of these now supported in PDF output?

Thanks in advance for all comments and observations,

Roger
