[mapserver-users] Re: pdf vector output in 6.02

[frequens]

Weird.To add a little:
With 5.6.5 I am able to get a vector pdf using mapserv or shp2img,
mapscript dies without message.
With 6.0.2 in all three cases (shp2img, mapserv, mapscript) the pdf
gets created, yet contains only the rendered raster image of the
vector layers.
Why this fallback to raster rendering, is this something supposed to
happen? All the underlying libraries are the same.

Any hints?
