Export to PDF

Posted by Martin Kirchgässner on 1 August 2019 in Danish (Dansk).

Hi there

When i download a standard map for PDF, it gets very heavy to work with in Illustrator. Is there any way to reduce size and compelxity before downloading in PDF?

Best regards

Martin

Is the situation any better if you get the download as SVG rather than PDF?

No, not much, but i found a solution wich is:

  1. download your maps as osm from openstreet.

  2. Open osm-file in Maperitive and download from there.

  3. Then open and re-export from Illustrator.

That made it.

Maybe see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_on_Paper for other ways of PDF creating from OSM data.
