[mapserver-users] Scalebar on PDF

Hi All

I am trying to add a scalebar to the map output.  It works fine in raster
images (using WMS request)
but when I try to create a pdf (x-pdf) I get this error message
----------------------------------------
msEmbedScalebar(): (null) failed to create scalebar image
msDrawScalebar(): General error message. Outputformat not supported for
scalebar
-----------------------------------------

Is this a bug or known limitation?
Does anyone know how to get scale bars working on PDF's??

mapfile entry that I am using (I also tried STATUS as ON, this gets rid of
the error message, but no scalebar was rendered)
---------------------
SCALEBAR
INTERVALS 5
UNITS meters
OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
STYLE 0
TRANSPARENT on
POSITION ul
STATUS embed
  LABEL
    SIZE small
    COLOR 0 0 0
  END
END

---------------------


Thanks


Matt  :)
