Vector layers rasterize on export to PDF when Bing layers are in the map.

Additional Information

Our Windows GDI based export system cannot prevent rasterization of content below the Bing logo.

Workaround

Use a layer other than Bing. Please note that if a service with multiple layers is used, such as Gray Canvas, any vector layers placed beneath the service layer "Labels" or "Reference" layer will be rasterized.
