• POLYGON_CROP_NAME_ATTR - used to control the filenames generated when cropping to
multiple polygons using the POLYGON_CROP_USE_EACH parameter. This should be the actual
name of the attribute from the polygon features to use for naming, or the special values or . If no value is provided, the exported files will be sequentially
numbered.
• POLYGON_CROP_FOLDER_ATTR - used to control the filenames generated when cropping to
multiple polygons using the POLYGON_CROP_USE_EACH parameter. This should be the actual
name of the attribute from the polygon features to use as a folder name before the actual filename or
the special values .
• OVERWRITE_EXISTING - specifies that existing files should be overwritten. The default is
OVERWRITE_EXISTING=YES, so use OVERWRITE_EXISTING=NO to skip exporting files that
already exist.
EXPORT_PDF
Global Mapper User's Manual
The EXPORT_PDF command exports all currently loaded data to a PDF file. The following parameters are
supported by the command.
• FILENAME - full path to file to save the data to
• DPI - specifies the DPI that the file is generated at.
• EXPORT_SCALE - specifies the scale to do the export at. For example to export at 1:50,000 scale,
use EXPORT_SCALE=50000.
• PDF_PAGE_SIZE - specifies the name of the paper size to use. This should match one of the entries
on the PDF export dialog, like landscape, portrait, A0, etc.
• PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION - specifies the page orientation to use for the generated PDF file. The
following values are supported:
♦ AUTO - Automatically determine whether to use portrait or landscape mode based on export
bounds aspect ratio.
♦ PORTRAIT
♦ LANDSCAPE
• PDF_MARGINS - specifies the margins to use in inches. The value should be a comma-delimited list
of numbers for the left, top, right, and bottom margins. For example,
PDF_MARGINS="0.5,1.0,0.5,1.25" would result in a 0.5 inch margin for the left and right, 1.0 inch

bounds specified. Use PDF_FILL_PAGE=YES to enable or PDF_FILL_PAGE=NO to disable.
• PDF_FONT_SCALE - specifies the scale factor to apply to text. For example use
PDF_FONT_SCALE=2.0 to double the size of text.
• PDF_SYMBOL_SCALE - specifies the scale factor to apply to point symbols and icons. For example
use PDF_SYMBOL_SCALE=2.0 to double the size of symbols.
• VECTOR_ONLY - specifies that only vector layers should be exported to the PDF file. Use
VECTOR_ONLY=YES to enable.
• SAVE_GRID_LINES - specifies that if grid line display is enabled that the grid lines should be saved.
