Hello,
Have you tried to install a printer that supports EPS output and send MapInfo's printing to this printer?
If I recall well, this format is recognized by some graphic design softwares out there (like Corel or Macromedia Fireworks). Maybe the layout problem could be solved making a print for every layer and then stacking all EPSs.
Hope this helps,

I think there is a need to find a better solution to export MapInfo layouts in vector format. As is, there is only one possibility to export vector files to publishing and imaging softwares : through Microsoft's wmf format.
I don't know whether you can import pdf documents in vector based imaging softwares, nor whether that would be really useful ?
Personnally, I'd be much more interested by the ability to export MapInfo layouts directly to Adobe Illustrator while 1) keeping all the layers of the layout separate, but 2) without spreading the different objects of a single MapInfo layer in as many Illustrator's layers.
Adobe products are standard in the press world and they are the tools of choice if you have to publish your maps. As is, it's impossible to export directly for Adobe Illustrator. I've tried to do it via the wmf format, but this creates a separate layer in Illustrator for each single object which is very painful when you have, say, all the buildings of a city in one layer. I've tried to use some other tool allowing for conversion to AI, but they weren't starting from a layout window and they were not able to export thematic maps, so this was far from perfect and useless for me.
Thanks for asking.

I have been reviewing the messages on the MapInfo list server and I wanted to take a poll to see if you, the end users, would find it valuable if MapInfo supported the ability to produce GeoPDF files?
For those of you who do not know what a GeoPDF is, it is:
A fully legal 1.6 PDF file that contains the maps projection coordinate system, layers and attribute data associated with point, poly-line and polygon shapes.
I truly appreciate your response.
Thank you,
Philip G. Lee
