Limitations When Printing to Vector File Formats

When printing from your application to a vector file format, only certain types of objects can be put into each of the various vector files.

For example, suppose your application is printing a page, which looks like this:

$image\original.gif$

When printing to a CGM file, which supports text and shape objects, but does not support raster objects, the output will appear like this:

$image\target.gif$

See the table below for a list of which objects are supported for each format.
