I'm new to OSM can anyone tell me how can i print a OSM to pdf file, i have found a printservlet.war file in the mapfish website i have downloaded it and placed it in my tomcat folder and run the server, when i make a request to print

org.mapfish.print.InvalidJsonValueException: spec.layers[0].type has an invalid value: OSM

Then i get the above exception, is it a correct way or anyone please point me in the right direction.

As a quick investigation, it seems that mapfish supports osm tiles:

http://www.mapfish.org/doc/print/protocol.html#layers-params

Your may have a version problem (older library) or a case sensitivity problem ('OSM' and not 'osm') ?

Also be careful that OSM has limited resources and a tile usage policy:

@Pieren thanks for the reply, i have gone through layers-params but that didn't help....is there any other way excluding mapfish to print OSM using java from my tomcat server
