How would we go about a Multi Page report with the printer layers ? ---

Gregory,      We can add multi PagePrinterLayer in one winformmap, and add title, map, datagrid etc for each of them.      Regards,      Gary ---

Gregory,      I’m planning to write a sample for you to create multi page report but I find a bug in the progress.      I will fix that first and then give you some sample code to help you resolve this problem.      Thank you for your patience.      Regards      Gary     ---

Gregory,  Thank you for your patience.  Please download our latest version tomorrow and try this code in our printer sample.  `PagePrinterLayer page2 = new PagePrinterLayer();            page2.PageSize = PrinterPageSize.Custom;            float pageWidth = (float)PrinterHelper.ConvertLength(8.5, PrintingUnit.Inch, PrintingUnit.Point);            float pageHeight = (float)PrinterHelper.ConvertLength(11, PrintingUnit.Inch, PrintingUnit.Point);            double centerPointX = PrinterHelper.ConvertLength(10, PrintingUnit.Inch, PrintingUnit.Point);            double centerPointY = PrinterHelper.ConvertLength(0, PrintingUnit.Inch, PrintingUnit.Point);            page2.SetPosition(pageWidth, pageHeight, centerPointX, centerPointY, PrintingUnit.Point);            printerOverlay.PrinterLayers.Add("PageLayer2", page2);`   I hope this can help.  Regards,  Gary ---

Quick question, is there an example for the printerOverlay using google maps ? ---

Gregory,      I’m glad it’s useful.      But sorry to say, for now, our printerOverlay only support printerLayer, so we have a MapPrinterLayer to receive some other layer and translate it to the printerLayer format, but it only support vertex type layer, it still have problems when use some layer with projection.      We will keep working on that and make some new version.      Regards,      Gary ---

I have a Overlays: Dim google As New GoogleOverlay("Google Map") Map1.CustomOverlays.Add(google) Dim DataTabLayer As New TabFeatureLayer("tabfile.tab") Dim DataTabOverlay As New LayerOverlay("DataTabOverlay", False, TileType.SingleTile) DataTabOverlay.Layers.Add("DataTabLayer", DataTabLayer) Map1.CustomOverlays.Add(DataTabOverlay) adornmentOverlay.Layers.Add("LengendLayer", legendLayer) Map1.CustomOverlays.Add(adornmentOverlay) Dim PointFeatureLayer As New InMemoryFeatureLayer(myColumnCollection, QueryResultFeatures) Dim PointLabelLayer As New InMemoryFeatureLayer(myColumnCollection, QueryResultFeatures) Map1.DynamicOverlay.Layers.Add("PointFeatureLayer ", PointFeatureLayer ) Map1.DynamicOverlay.Layers.Add("PointLabelLayer", PointLabelLayer ) Dim RetailersFeatureLayer As New InMemoryFeatureLayer(myColumnCollection, QueryResultFeatures) Map1.DynamicOverlay.Layers.Add(RetailersFeatureLayer)   I want to export a pdf with all of the overlays..... is that possible ?   ---

Gregory,  Yes, you can use the PdfExtension to made that.  Please download the sample and check the code, sorry I have deleted the data because it's too big to upload.  Regards,  Gary [PdfExtensionSamples.zip](https://community.thinkgeo.com/uploads/default/original/2X/0/08060d568ef20abfaab0c71ac93f5acb927606cb.zip) (30.2 KB) ---
