First of all I must say I love new legend designer. It is great to have finally better tool for positioning and even some changing the size of lines and region symbols, hooray. Big step for MapInfo to be one day user friendly professional tool for map layouts.
But… when I use Legend Designer all content of legend window is automatically converted to bitmap for layout print/export to PDF. Is there some option to turn this off and keep text/vectors? I found out this way I can't use it at all with symbols.

Kalu to mapinfo-l: Apparently not. I contacted MapInfo about this a couple of weeks ago. I got the following response:
"I have received some feedback from engineering about the new Legend Designer window. This window is actually rasterised when displayed within MIP so it is non-trivial for MIP to then convert the window back to a vector format. This feature will be included in subsequent releases of MIP however this enhancement has not been scheduled as yet. The current workaround is to use the old Map Legend window."
I've created a request in the MapInfo Community Ideas forum to request them to make this change. See and vote for: http://pbinsight.force.com/pbideas//apex/ideaView?id=08780000000EMmI&returnUrl=%2Fapex%2FideaList%3Fc%3D09a800000009It0%26category%3DMapInfo%2BProfessional%26sort%3Drecent
