Apparently. I had never tried printing a Tinderbox map view, but
after reading your message I was curious. For me, (TB 2.2, Mac
OS X 10.3.2) printing to PDF sort of works; the only problem
is that the note labels are super small. Changing preferences
to make them 24pt, the largest size available, still produces
labels in the PDF that are not only too small but partially
occluded. Maybe something could be done about this by post-processing
the PDF file: any PDF experts here?

I tried Edit > Copy view picture and it worked perfectly. The only
problem here is that the result is only 72dpi, so it's ok for
putting on a web page but would not make a very good printout.
