I have used pdf format in the past.  It's good, but I did encounter some
problems that you should be aware of.

Experiment with your fonts. Some fonts become skewed (spaces between
letters, words, and lines are irregular.)

Check all labels.  In addition to the font problems, some street labels
either don't appear or are stretched across the page (you will see what I
mean when you try it.)

Good luck!

Dave -
You will have to use Adobe acrobat distiller to generate the PDF file. You 
use a PostScript printer driver to print the layout to a file and Distiller 
creates a PDF file from that PS print file.

Dear all...

Having made a few maps to slip neatly into a report I find the
printers would like the maps in *.pdf format. I have searched
through the 'Save Window As' routine but to no avail! Does anyone
know if MapInfo supports .pdf and how I can go about saving my
plans in that format?

Thanks, Dave
