[Qgis-user] Exporting png or pdf from print composer does not work, empties canvas (Lyon)

[Ujaval]

Hi Richard,

Do you have any basemaps from OpenLayers plugin in your composer? This is a
known issue with OpenLayers (http://hub.qgis.org/issues/11073). Try
removing the basemap layer and see if you are able to export. I have had
better luck with QuickMapServices plugin for basemap layers.
