Hi Ashley You have to be able to replicate the styled vectors in OpenLayers within your WMS server, and then write some Javascript code to capture the map extent from OpenLayers plus a list of all the layers displayed and then submit a GetMap request to the WMS to generate a composite map.
I use a Python script in my cgi-bin directory that sits between OpenLayers and Mapserver to request the WMS image and embed it in a PDF file. Regards, Robert >>> mortac8 <[email protected]> 18/01/2012 4:20 a.m. >>> Guys, If I have a map with a WMS background layer and a several styled Vector layers, is it possible to print server-side and still maintain all of my vector stylings? If so, approximately how much effort is this and is MapFish the way to go? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the effort to deal with styled vectors server-side or just use the browser/javascript print() function and deal with its issues. I have read through the archives and read the wiki but I didn't see much about maintaining styling when printing server-side. Thanks!!!
