[Qgis-developer] QGIS PDF export options

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Magnus,

What you list below is a LOT of work and won't just "happen". You would 
have to find a developer with profound PDF know-how to do the work.

Besides, some of your ideas even contradict with the values of the QGIS 
project.

Why should the QGIS project encourage or include technology that:
- disables printing and
- disables content copy ?

I would be against having such technology in QGIS.

QGIS is about enabling content and technologies, not about disabling and 
restricting the users rights.

Other stuff you list would be very useful to have. But as said, you 
would have to get active to get it implemented. It won't just happen ...

Greetings,
Andreas
