How it is built in the file
The PDF of Taiwan is a single 841 × 1 189 mm sheet; everything beyond the place frame is cut off by the sheet edge. Example — 北部橫貫公路: 26.0 km, nodes (vertices) — 1 475. Its first vertex on the sheet is at X = 639.4 mm, Y = 138.7 mm from the top-left corner. In the PDF it is a vector line: it stays sharp when zoomed, and beyond the sheet edge it is gone.

How to use PDF for Taiwan
- Any browser, Acrobat Reader, Preview on macOS or SumatraPDF — open and look; a document search will find street and place names, because the labels remained text.
- Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape (free) — open it as vector graphics: recolour layers, remove what you do not need, add your own labels, a frame and a legend.
- CorelDRAW — import the PDF for further prepress work, if the layout is being put together there.

FAQ: PDF for Taiwan
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.
