Layout Output

Feature Description

Supports exporting completed layouts into common image formats (JPG File, PNG File, Bitmap File, TIFF, etc.) and PDF format for convenient application in other environments.

Feature Entry

  • Layout tab-> Output group: Click corresponding function buttons based on output requirements.
  • Right-click in layout window: Select desired output function from context menu.

Steps

Export as Image

  1. In current layout, after completing layout adjustments: Right-click and select Export as Image... to open dialog.
  2. Configure output properties in dialog:

    File Name: Click browse button to set save location, name and format. Default path uses previous setting.

    Resolution: Set output image quality (default 96 DPI).

    Multiple Pages: Enable to split output by printer's paper size. Disabled outputs entire layout as single image.

    When printer paper size is smaller than layout page size, multi-page output divides layout clockwise into numbered sections. Output filenames append corresponding page numbers.

Output to PDF

Exports entire layout page content at 100% display state. Functionality matches Map Export to PDF. For precautions, refer to Map Export to PDF documentation.

  1. Click Export to PDF in Layout tab to open dialog.
  2. Configure File Name and DPI (output resolution).
Caution:
  • Output includes all layout elements: maps, compasses, paper backgrounds, and layout fills.
  • Adjust paper background and grid settings via Page Setup and Layout Properties.
  • Map display scales may exceed layout frame when DPI changes, causing layer invisibility.
  • Missing font files may alter text styling in PDF output. Ensure required font variants (e.g., bold/italic) are installed.
  • For text position deviations in PDF, increase DPI value to improve positional accuracy.
