Dennis, I like your approach, Does it allow you to print on large format to a scale? Chris

Let Adobe Reader handle all the printing output options and the zooming and the panning and the .... options,options,options. All my stuff is .NET specific. My boss has 'guidelines' after all ... I have been producing PDF's using "iText" for a couple years now and irrespective of what I think the users love it. I will not burden you with all the details but I am use "ikvm" in conjunction with "iText" ... (this way I am able to stay up to date with "iText"). There is however a .NET version of out there that is somewhat behind Bruno's work. The guts of what I have done relies on RenderMap .. (MgByteReader byteReader = renderingService.RenderMap(map, selection, mapCenterCoordinate, mapScale, width, height, color, imageflavor.ToUpper()); I would be glad to share but I have not a clue how to go about this within this forum. .... As an example .... I have done it using http "ashx" request and the latest iteration uses a ajax .net 1.0 webmethod call from javascript. function ScribblePDF() { tmp_control = document.getElementById("sessionName"); SESSION = tmp_control.value; tmp_control = document.getElementById("mapName"); MAPNAME = tmp_control.value; w = window.open("scribblepdfdoc.ashx?SESSION=" + SESSION + "&MAPNAME=" +MAPNAME + "&WIDTH=" + SCRIBBLEPDF_WIDTH + "&HEIGHT=" +SCRIBBLEPDF_HEIGHT + "&TYPE=" +SCRIBBLEPDF_TYPE ,"pdfmap","toolbar=no,status=no,width=550,height=720,resizable=yes,scrol lbars=yes",false); try { w.focus(); } catch(Exception) { } } Let me know if you wish additional info ... dennis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Tallman Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 9:28 AM To: MapGuide Users Mail List Subject: [mapguide-users] Printing Morning, Has anyone built a printing app for MGOS? I have a client that would like to be able to print on a large format plotter. I've not worked with the printing functions and wondered if someone had already built something that gives printing options and would be willing to share with the group.
