I made some quick trials by combining some raster base maps and
shapefiles and I am sure that this will be an amusing toy. But
with the default settings the vector features are almost invisible
on the map because of the drawing styles. I made a blind
trial with OGR Feature Styles and wrote these two lines into a
.ofs file for making linework a bit wider
OFS-version 1.0
DefaultStyle: PEN(c:#FF0000,w:5px)
However, it did not make any difference. Perhaps OFS is not
supported yet, or? I did notice that I can change the colour
of the features through Acrobat reader's UI, but I cannot set
the line width. As a first aid I would suggest to use wider
lines and bigger points as defaults. Areas, which are drawn
as semi-transparent with a light grey fill are OK.
I am eager to have a possibility to capture a base map from
WMS and some vectors from WFS, put some styles into the
vectors and combine everything together with gdal_translate
into a geospatial PDF. It does not seem to be so far away.
