Bruno, Have a go with my favorite Canadian topographic map (NTS:082H04, "Waterton Lakes" ):
Shapefiles: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/canvec/50k_shp/082/h/canvec_082h04_shp.zip or GML: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/canvec/50k_gml/082/h/canvec_082h04_gml.zip If you want road names (with poor geometry) of the area above, select Alberta for the Geography at: http://geodepot.statcan.ca/Diss/2006Dissemination/Data/FRR_RNF_e.cfm and for comparison, the scanned topographic map: http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/canmatrix/50k_300dpi/082/h/canmatrix_082h04_tif.zip The vector data is quite rich in geometry and attributes so it should make a "killer" pdf.
