There are two ways to save a MapViewer map to a PDF file.
1) You can use the export command to create a PDF.
Beginning with MapViewer 6, you can use the File | Export command to export directly to a PDF file. Just choose PDF as the Save as type.
The advantage of this alternative is that no other software is needed in addition to MapViewer. However, the map is stored as a bitmap within the PDF, so it tends to generate a fairly large file.
2) Print to a PDF printer driver.
A number of software programs, such as Adobe Acrobat, install a printer driver that will create a PDF file. If you have a program like this, you can create a PDF from MapViewer by printing to this PDF print driver. PDFs created in this manner generally contain vector objects rather than bitmaps, so the file size is typically smaller than a PDF exported directly from MapViewer. If you don't already have Adobe Acrobat or another program that creates PDFs, you can download and install a free program, such as PDFCreator, CutePDF, or BullZIP PDF. |
