I imagine that having a layered PDF as the output would be quite beneficial.
Does anybody know if layered PDF output is possible from mapserver?

Depending on the purpose, you could check if Mapyrus is useful for you.
Disadvantage is that you need to define the map layout a second time and
make it look similar to Mapserver layout. But the PDF output quality is far
better than the one of Mapserver, and you do not need to bother with PDFLib
licenses. And it's also working well for large print formats (vector based
rendering of vector data).

Hello list!

I have been searching the web for tips and tricks, but basically what I
need is a method or procedure or (commercial) tool that can enhance my
mapserver installation to enable high resolution printing.

What I am looking for is the best practice to:

- Add a button to our website
- Let the button start a script or program that processes the active
layers in the map view based upon the current extent
- Generate a mixture of high-res images and optionally svg or alike for
linework
- combine the works in a pdf
- present the pdf for download to the user

I would also like to know if there are any commercial, mapserver based,
solutions for this. I am also willing to hire an expert to achieve this.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Milo van der Linden
