<p>Hi Richard,</p>
<p>Yes - using Linux for that purpose would be my fallback. But it is a bit more complicated, because my Win machine is in the corporate network, while the Linux machine is my private machine, and not part of the network - where I have access to Postgis, and everything.</p>
<p>The question is, if that error message is just an assumption, that the export would fail - not giving the user even a chance to try, or if it would really be a problem.</p>
<p>Let's see if Matthias can find out something.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<br /> Hi Andreas,<br /> <br /> Just a shot in the dark, but years ago I was not able to create a A0 pdf<br /> at 300dpi on a Windows (XP?) machine (memory problems), while on a Linux<br /> machine it just worked. Hopefully Windows has changed this, but it is<br /> worth trying?<br /> <br /> Regards,<br /> <br /> Richard<br /> </div>
