Adobe Portable Document Format

Codename: pdf

The Marvin beans and applications are able to export in PDF format (as a vector graphical image). This function does not work in the applets (except signed applets). PDF export requires Java 1.4 (or higher version).

The PdfExport module recognizes the common image export options.
