As easy to create PDF in Smath as it is in Mathcad.
You must have a PDF tool intalled in your PC [a virtual printer].

In Smath:

1. Print
2. in the print menu, scroll for "ScanSoft PDF Create"
3. in the print menu "Print to file"
4. document name/location [by user]
5. read from Adobe XI

Done ! "ScanSoft" is my Nuance PDF create/read
CutePDF, PDF 995, PDF Creator ... are freeware

What interests me here is how did Scan Soft or CutePDF interpret that PLOT region is vector graphics? I could have used similar approach for .SVG images within .sm workbook... If I knew how..

They didn't interpret it at all. When plotting, it's SMath that sends either vector, or raster data to the printer driver. It tells each region to draw itself to printer canvas, and they do it themselves either by sending low-level lineto-like vectors, or by playing with pixels.

Well explained mike !

In other words, the PC [black box] contains only data.
Same thing with letters, they are only matrix [small, capital, fonts ...]
They are displayed via Bézier splines or other SVG transforms.
Same thing with images 1/1 RGB.

Cheers, Jean
