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:
When printing to a CGM file, which supports text and shape objects, but does not support raster objects, the output will appear like this:
See the table below for a list of which objects are supported for each format.
