Haven't yet gotten very far into creating plots within a Manipulate, then exporting randomly selected instances of those plots (i.e., plots made at different control settings) to PDF, but could see wanting to do a lot more of this. So: 1) Possible option in Manipulate that will cause it to always draw everything in resolution independent form? 2) Or, template for an added button control within a Manipulate (or in a separate palette) that will cause currently active Manipulate to export its output to PDF in res independent form (with options to show or not show all the controls)?
