[Qgis-user] Question Re: Map Exporting (How to keep Map labels the same size when exporting Map as pdf or image via composer manager)

[Michael Raymond]

Good morning,

I’m messaging as, when I export my Map as pdf (or as image) the labels on the Map are smaller than what is shown when I preview after “drawing the map” in the composer manager.

At present I can remedy this to an extent by lowering the MAP dpi in composer manager, but this obviously comes at the cost of the labels teetering on illegibility (which is just another version of the issue I’m trying to remedy in the first place). I understand a better remedy might be a case of converting the raster layer (which I am only presuming is the underlying map that I’m having issues with) “from pixels to points” (or vice versa).

However, I have QGis version 2.18.28 and there doesn’t appear to be any explicit function pertaining to this, and indeed said remedy may in fact be something different entirely. Am open to any alternative resolutions if so, hope you can help?

Note: Have attached a version of the Map which I’ve managed to sort based on lowering the dpi, which as you can see works ok but it would be preferred to have it clearer.
