GeoExt/MapFish serialize the map state and pass the data to the server, where the server reproduces what was sent to the client, put it in a printable document (like a PDF), and send that printable document back to the client. Essentially, they store a list of features and other visible things, then tell that list to the server, and have it generate the image or printable document. -- Chris > Any suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated.
