Yup the PHP error log flags a permissions error (sorry was too tired to remember error logs), though the ms_tmp folder is configured ok for permissions... As for formatting, it comes back to me - I remember looking at redefining the shapefile field formats... groan. Cheers Chris On 11 May 2011 2

Hi all the map creation for PDF increases the size of TTF labels since the map is requested with a higher resolution and is then stuffed into a lower width/height as it actually is. This was to improve the print quality, especially of fine structures. But it requires higher original text sizes

Thomas I have played with both methods, the most success I have had is with size 7 and aligning to the bottom right (just about stays out of the way of the scalebar on the left). If if don't define a font size it is barely legible on the screen, but good for the PDF (equivalent to defining 'small

I've got an idea... Are you using size in text ("small", "big", ...) or numerical (10, 12, ...)? With the default font given in example? For me with numerical values it works. And you are right, the label are increased (else the labels for real objects are too small, due to pdf resolution). May

Thomas This moves the location of the text around, but doesn't stop it being rendered in the PDF as jumbo text, I wondered whether there was some handle on the text size at PDF rendering time? Otherwise if I switch the font size to small in the map file, then the PDF looks much better, but on scr

Hi all I have a variety of layer dependent credit text in the mapfile (Thanks Thomas for help there), which is positioned fine on the screen in pmapper, however the PDF print output goes to town with the fonts and makes the text huge, overlap and partially excluded from the map frame. I am guessi
