[Qgis-developer] QGIS PDF export options

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi,

just to add another thought: In the past I bypassed disable print 
settings in pdf documents by using a pdf viewer other than AdobeAcrobat 
Reader (gsView in that case) and thus was able to print. So setting 
flags does not necessarily mean that all pdf readers out there honor them.
