[mapserver-users] print config question / pdf-layers

Dear Mapfishers,

I have a question regarding the pdf output of the print-module. We have 
a mapping client with external wms such as orthophotos and internal wms 
with some kinds thematic maps.

The print works fine but... somebody found out, that it is possible to 
switch the layers off inside the pdf (e.g. using adobe viewer, as the 
customers do) - which causes a legal problem with the terms of use of 
the external data. They must be delivered in a print inseperable 
together with the thematic maps. (Of course I know I can take the 
external wms out of the application and print it seperated from the rest 
of the data somewhere else, but this is not my problem ... the problem 
is more ... let's say political ;-) )

So my question is, is there a config-method which forces the print 
module to put all layers in one image first and then puts this into the 
pdf or is there a possibility to disable to view the seperate layers 
inside the Pdf?

Best regards,
Till
