PDF Format - msDrawQueryMap(): Unable to initialize image

[tmelhuish]

I receive the following error message when trying to create a PDF file using the PDF Format and drawQueryMap in PHP:

msDrawQueryMap(): Unable to initialize image

I'm using: Mapserver 4.10.3 GD 2.0.35 PdfLib-lite 7.0.1

Attached is a test php script and a mapfile to recreate the problem.

The output format for PNG works fine but PDF fails. If I use drawMap versus drawQuerymap is works fine as well.

I looked at bug fix 2017, but was not sure if this would fix my problem. I see for some reason that this didn't make it into the 4.10.3 release.

Thanks in advance for your help, Tom

Pdf test script to change format & draw options

Mapfile to show format options. You need to copy in your own layer data

I added the following lines of code before the "Unable to initialize image" error message in the mapdraw.c code. I also removed the FORMATOPTION "OUTPUT_TYPE=RASTER" in the mapfile which seam to fix the problem. Why was this removed in the mapserver 4.10.3 code that I am using?

#ifdef USE_PDF

else if( MS_RENDERER_PDF(map->outputformat) ) {

image = msImageCreatePDF(map->width, map->height, map->outputformat,

map->web.imagepath, map->web.imageurl, map);

}

#endif

probably invalid since the 6.0 pdf rewrite. reopen if necessary.
