Hi All, im trying to put a basemap under some vector linework output as a pdf....

Currently i use a http fetcher to get an esri basemap jpg, georeference image then use pdf formatter to try and combine the vector and raster.

 

it all works perfectly when sent to an inspector but when send to pdf i get nothing.... is there a simple workflow im missing somewhere ? similar to this https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_DataInspector/DataInspector/Background_Map.htm with the data inspectors basemap under my data. I just want a raster basemap underneath my outputs. I have read lots of posts around this but not found a solution that works for me.

Hello @steven boswell​ , thanks for posting! It sounds like you’re half way there. Once the raster & vector data is properly georeferenced, you can use a VectorOnRasterOverlayer to combine them. From there, you can use the PDFPageFormatter to organize your output. There’s a similar example of how to do this featured here: https://www.safe.com/webinars/best-in-show-fme-tips-tricks-for-productivity/ (~48 minutes). Hope this helps, Kailin.
