Open Printable/Searchable Copy - Global Mapper

save the most detailed scale available, creating potentially very large files, or the scale the most closely
matches the current display scale on the screen.
The Combine Compatible Vector Layers into a Single Layer option causes all vector features with the same
native projection to be combined into a single layer within the package file rather than maintaining their
original layer structure.
The Embed Images Associated with Picture Points option causes any images associated with a vector feature
(like points from an EXIF JPEG file) to be embedded in the GMP file for easy use on other systems.
The Simplification panel allows the user to set up the threshold at which points that don't contribute much to
the shape of the vector line and area features being exported are removed in order to generate features with
less vertices. By default, all vertices will be kept, but the user can move the slider to the right to get rid of
relatively insignificant vertices and realize significant space spacings at the cost of some fidelity.
The Gridding panel allows the user to split up the data into regularly spaced tiles on export if desired rather
than just exporting a single file.
The Export Bounds panel allows the user to select what portion of the loaded data they wish to export.
Note: Only registered users of Global Mapper are able capture the screen to an image file.
Export PDF/GeoPDF File Command
Global Mapper User's Manual
The Export PDF File command allows the user to export any or all of the loaded data to a Geo-enabled PDF
file. These are standard PDF files that can be read in Adobe Acrobat Reader. They also will have
geopositioning information embedded in them so that mapping applications like Global Mapper can
automatically display the data in the PDF at the proper location.
When selected, the command displays the PDF Export Options dialog which allows the user to setup the PDF
export. The dialog consists of a PDF Options panel, a Gridding panel, and an Export Bounds panel.
