[Qgis-user] Forced raster export

[Stephen Wandling]

Hi Richard,

Yes, I can see my question was not very clear.  I do not want a raster 
PDF.  Composer has automatically set that option to Print as Raster 
because of "Advanced composition effects" (from the error message), and 
mentions "blended modes" or "vector layer transparency" being enabled.

I found and removed a transparency set on one component, but that did 
not change the situation.  I may have 'blended modes' set, but I do not 
know what they are, so I can not look for them.  And, the problem may be 
some other 'advanced composition effect'?

So, my question is: What must I do to get my map to not export as a Raster?

Thanks for your response,

Stephen
