Converting custom Google map to PDF

Is it possible to take a customized Google map (showing points of interest we've created) and turn it into a pdf that would be zoomable, and in which each of those points would be clickable (or via mouseover) to show information about those points? If the answer is yes, is their functionality that would allow this to be viewed on a mobile device? Thanks! If there isn't an Adobe solution that would accomplish this, do you know of some other solution? Here's an example of the type of map I want to be able to convert to PDF and have each icon identifiable in some manner:

I have a feeling Google would make this as difficult as they can.
If I'd been asked to do this, I'd be worrying very much about Google's licensing of map data and whether making an "offline copy" was breaking the license. http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html. How is your copyright law?
Google do offer a maps API which can be used to deliver maps on mobile devices. That might be the safer option.

Custom Google Map Widget Control for Guide Builder

Hi,
I would like to build a custom control for Guide Builder. This custom control will basically wraps around the Google Map control (provided by Google api for Flex/as3). This custom map control can then be used as part of Guide Builder when building the guides.
I am not sure how to go about doing this, or if this is at all possible. I just want to get an idea before I attempt to do this. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nelson

I'm still looking for help on this one, anybody? Thanks.

Customized Google Maps in iPhone

Hi there,
In the Google Maps website, I can change my highway preference for specific sections of my route.
Let me give you an example:
I am going from Providence, RI to Secaucus, NJ and I do not want to use the George Washington Bridge on 95 South. I actually want to use the Tappan Zee Bridge on route 287 West (NY Exit 21), Route 3 East, and Route 17 South. In Google Maps I calculate the original route and move the route line with the mouse to my preferred path in the specific section of the trip and then Google Maps recalculates the driving maneuvers.
It does not seem like I can use this feature in the iPhone. Looking forward for your reply.
Cheers,
David

Hi Larry,
Thanks for your reply. I am very familiar with the route to NJ, but otherwise, I freak out when I have to go on an unfamiliar highway. It took me three trips to NJ to learn that taking the George Washington Bridge was the worst idea. I hope to have other scenic drives (Tapanzee Bridge is awesome), somewhere in the US in the future.

Customized Google Map

To show a Google Map on an swf movie I use this code:
var map:Map = new Map();
map.key = "key";
map.sensor = "false";
map.setSize(new Point(350, 320));
map.x = 380;
map.y = 175;
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.MAP_READY, onMapReady);
this.addChild(map);
function onMapReady(event:Event):void {
     map.addControl(new ZoomControl());
     map.addControl(new MapTypeControl());
     map.setCenter(new LatLng(41.893932,12.488177), 15, MapType.NORMAL_MAP_TYPE);
     var m:Marker = new Marker(new LatLng(41.893932,12.488177));
     map.addOverlay(m);
Now I want that passing the mouse pointer on the marker a baloon with some informations pops up.
How can I do that? I know I have to add and event listener like
map.addEventListener(MapMouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, showBaloon);
but I don't know what to write inside the function.

I've tried this code
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/img.jpg");
    var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
        function(event:Event):void {
            var options:InfoWindowOptions = new
                InfoWindowOptions({
                    customContent: imageLoader,
                    pointOffset: new Point(0,-30),
                    drawDefaultFrame:true
            map.openInfoWindow(e.latLng,options);
    imageLoader.load(request);
It makes appear the image, but I don't know how to add elements to "customContent" in addition to the image, actually I don't either know if it is possible.

The attachements are all converting to google doc from pdf. How do I keep pdf?

Thunderbird now sends and receives all my pdf files as google docs but I would prefer that they remain pdf. Even reports sent from Quickbooks.
thanks

Tools menu (Alt+T) > options > Attachments and delete all references to google docs or PDF and then restart Thunderbird.

How to open a google map link in google maps app?

Hello,
I would like to post a link to a custom google map on my blog that could be open on Iphone with the google maps app. Someone would have an idea?
There maybe a solution with google map url scheme ("comgooglemaps:") but I don't see how to implement it
Thanks in advance!
The map:
https://maps.google.fr/maps/ms?msid=218162555454264993409.0004ddc647279c6f0bde0& msa=0&ll=46.149394,2.329102&spn=16.974756,19.02832

I think this is not possible as a link on the iPhone will default to the Apple Maps app and there is no way to change this.

Script error message when printing google maps driving direction into PDF

My system; Win 7/ 64bits/IE 9 both 32 and 64 bits/Adobe Acrobats 10.1.1. Pro
Intial problems in printing web sites into PDF files has been resolved when I upgraded into 10.0.1 after having installed IE9.
However, with 10.1.1. version, I noticed that when I tried to convert google maps results for a driving direction (From A to B), script error message showed up and I could not convert it into PDF. I tried both IE 9 32bits and 64 bits version, but both failed to do it. Please fix the problem for the next updates.
Thanks

You might try running CHKDSK on the disk to where you try to save the file. You might have a corrupted file directory or a damaged track on that disk. I urge you to backup what you can before trying this.

Embed an interactive google map into a PDF

Hi there,
I'm currently working on a client project where many different store locations need to use the same layout, but with a large map. In order to save costs for the client, the aim is that each store will edit the template to their own store. So I'm wanting to embed google maps into the pdf (which I've done via InDesign), where the store can simply drag the map and zoom in on their individual location (pins are not needed) and then print out their document. I've been able to make an interactive map using the html code google maps gives you in InDesign, and works fine in Adobe Content Viewer - but not in Adobe Acrobat, where it ends up as a static image. This happens regardless of wether I save it as an interactive PDF, or SWF file.
Is there anyway to embed a dynamic, working google map into an interactive PDF document?
(notes: I am working on iOS. The file will have to work on both Windows and Macintosh, but I understand that it may only work when the file is opened in Acrobat)

If it's not possible how can I concatenate two conversion ?You can use Apache FOP (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/) to do this in one shot. it would require a custom IBR converter component.

Pdf photos are grey. Including Google maps.

I used to print/save as pdf Google maps and Sudokus from the online (Olive software) papers with no problem using my old MacBook 2007. Now I've got a MacBook Pro OS 10.8.3 with Adobe Reader X 10.1.7 and the pdf's are coming up as grey filled rectangles. What's going on? I can't seem to find an answer.

Google Earth will display streets (with names) if you enable the right layers. You can give it a street address and it will go to that location.

Custom icons not showing in Google Maps

I have saved to my public Dropbox folder some custom icons (this folder was recommended by the icon developer).
The icons can be used and viewed on Google Maps when using IE but not using FF 8.0.

That is a problem with CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing).

See this MozillaZine forum thread "My own Google Map icons are not visible in Firefox 8":

Corporate Website Design - Make a Static Custom Map or Google Maps

Could some one please kindly advise on the following:
What is considered more professional if you are designing a corporate Website.
1. To design a custom map that shows each rail road crossing and traffic light on the way to the company. But due to the fact that it is a still image suffer from usability issues e.i. not being able to zoom beyond the drawn bitmap.
2. To embed a well known tool such as Google Maps (that allows world wide zooming), marking the location of the company building with a custom photo pin.
3. A combination of both points above displayed on one contact us site.
The above needs to be corporate design conform.
Thank you in advance for your advice.

Hi Marian,
Thank you for the reply,
1. The audience consists of a the following according to the polls:
27.5% - Government Official
9.4% - Network/Association
8.8% - Student
8.7% - Academia
5.8% - NGO Representative
4.8% - IO/IGO Representative
3.4% - Media
2. It is an International Institute so they are from all over the world.
3. Map interaction is not needed but it would be an advantage considering the town in which the institute is located has a common name and often gets mistaken for another in a totally different country.
4. Interactive maps on cell phones and GPS
A map on the webpage is needed because:
A. The audience is so widespread e.i. from Government Officials to Students from all over the world including the LDC countries, that it is near impossible to predict what technologies are available to them, it is assumed that they will be able to access the internet.
B. Requested by the management.
Thank you in advance for your advise

Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used

Apple Maps - Please reconsider and include Google Maps. As a long time Apple customer, I am disappointed iOS would regress the system and inconvenience millions because of a vendetta that should never hinder users. Not only does the transit feature I used religiously no longer exist, but clicking on an address in a website now directs users to a poor Google Maps interface. I am surprised to see such a effortless update from a company squatting on the resources to make a change its customers are asking for.

Apple has documented an API to provide add-ons to the Maps app in the iOS 6 SDK, so that such add-ons are possible is absolutely not a guess that the capability is there. As to whether someone will indeed develop an add-on for any given transit system, that would be a guess, yes, but at a couple of companies at least have already announced plans to do so.
In select cities and areas - so now I'm going from being able to supply this information myself to either wait for someone to supply an app or write an app myself... This is not feature progression but feature regression. Adding transit times or a specific overlay should not have to be something you need to do through code via an API. So no dice... Your guess that we will see better transit information is just that - a guess, nothing else.
If you don't agree with that editorial, you are certainly free to do so. I provided the link as food for thought for those who have been questioning Apples' decision to drop Google's maps from iOS. Whether or not you agree with Brad's analysis or that of anyone else is up to you.
But on that central issue the editorial fails - it's is not the true tale of why Apple made their move and therefore useless even as "food for thought" (because it's guesswork).
