Hi Brad,Although this isn't in the Flex Viewer framework, here's my app where the user can print out a map that contains a legend, text, imagery, etc. This was using the AlivePDF library. Also, take a look at this for a tool to add MGRS grid to your mapHere's the code I'm using to create it. The last two references are the pop up windows that contain data or images.
public static function printPDF(mainMap:Map, overviewMap:Map, legendTitle:String, popData:DataPopup, popAbout:AboutWindow):void
{
CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
var date:Date = new Date();
var legendImage:Class;
var legendLength:Number;
var h:Number = mainMap.measuredHeight;
var w:Number = mainMap.measuredWidth;
var ovH:Number = overviewMap.measuredHeight;
var ovW:Number = overviewMap.measuredWidth;
var fullWidth:Number = w + ovW + 126;
var fullHeight:Number = h + 144;
var legendY:Number = ovH + 132;
var minHeight:Number = ovH + 42 + 72; // overview map + header to legend + logos
var scaleArray:Array = [110000,64000,32000,16000,8000,4000,2000];
// if (h1 < 650) {h1 = 650;}
mainMap.zoomSliderVisible = false;
