The GeoMoose interface does something similar.

You might want to take a look at the server-side script that they use for
creating a print image.

What methods are available to save the current map image elsewhere, say
into a PDF or as a static image?
I do hope that I'm wrong about it not being possible. :)

There is no cross-browser way to save the current view to a map

Darn. Cuz trying to assemble the whole thing from little scraps of

You need to use a mapserver for this as the constraints of pdf are very
different to a browser. Openlayer is for presentation of information in
the browser.
We use a php mapscript that takes the layers and then generates a single
jpeg file. We send the script the current layers, the extents

Thanks a lot. I think I'll be okay, though. I'm pretty handy with
Mapserver. An extent, a layer list, etc. and I'll probably have it
before long.
