FAQ: PDF for Dandala
Is the PDF map vector or raster?
This format is vector: you can zoom in to any level without quality loss. If you need a map that opens instantly in a browser even for a whole country, choose raster PDF (pdf-raster).
Can I edit the PDF map?
Yes, in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape you can open the vector PDF and edit it as vector.
Is PDF suitable for large poster printing?
Yes, vector PDFs are ideal for printing posters of any size.
Does the file contain object names?
Yes, as a separate hidden catalogue: in a PDF viewer, searching for a name (Ctrl+F) takes you to its spot on the map, and no extra labels appear on the map itself. An honest caveat: Illustrator and other vector editors do not show the catalogue as a readable name — there it arrives split into separate letters. Raster PDF (pdf-raster) carries no names: its page is baked into an image.
How does vector PDF differ from raster PDF?
Vector stores the map as geometry (crisp at any zoom, easy to edit) but grows heavy on large areas. Raster PDF stores the map as an image — it opens instantly regardless of density, but does not scale without quality loss.
