Exports one or more layers to a new Geo-enabled PDF file. If NULL is passed for the layer list handle, all loaded layers will be saved to the new package file, otherwise only the specified layer(s) will be exported. If NULL is provided for the world bounds, the entirety of each layer will be exported, otherwise only data within the specified bounds will be exported.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must purchase a license to the QuickPDF library from http://www.quickpdflibrary.com/ and use the GM_SetQuickPDFUnlockCode function to provide your registration key prior to calling this function. For SDK v1.37 and earlier you need a QuickPDF v7 license, for v1.38 and later you need a QuickPDF v8 license.
