I have several MapInfo map layers that I want to generate and send to my client as an image. I see that https://community.safe.com/s/article/creating-pdf-cartographic-output offers a way to render as PDF, but is there a similar method to render multiple layers to a PDF? Ideally I would want render a report with several pieces:

  • An underlying map layer with streets, parks, terrain etc.
  • Highway layers for the major roads in the area
  • Custom elements layer, with labels
  • Sparse color-thematic grid overlay
  • Legend for the color thematic
  • Additional footer for some standard text information.

And some alpha transparency to a couple of the layers.

Hello @jnotter, I do a similar thing but from CAD drawings.

The screenshot of the image below takes input from a number of layers, reprojects some and adds style and then creates the PDF.

 

 

Hope that helps a little.

Have a look at the MapnikRasterizer transformer.

That transformer can do the styling and creates a raster object from vector and/or raster data.

Hope this helps.
