<div style="RIGHT: auto">Qgis newbie here, though I'm an experienced GIS user (ArcGIS), but not a guru, just a geologist. I created a map in Qgis and also three Print Composer instances. I set up one as a plotter file (Print Composer #1, 42" X 60") and another as a PDF (Print Composer #3, "print as raster" checked) after failing to get a completely plotted map document. The plotter output has a large area of empty paper in the middle as well as two narrow bands of empty space, all surrounded by the incomplete map. <img alt=":puke! puke" src="http://mail.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo65.gif">When I try the PDF workaround to simply get usable output that I can send to the plotter, I get an incomplete PDF document and a message "Exception - bad allocation"). <img alt=":(( crying" src="http://mail.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo16.gif"> Anyone have any suggestions?<img alt=":-/ confused" src="http://mail.yimg.com/ok/u/assets/img/emoticons/emo4.gif"> Not sure if this is a plotter problem, a Qgis garbage-in problem or ??? </div>

<div style="RIGHT: auto">1. Is there an organized Qgis printer/plotter troubleshooting forum that I can look at for some tips? </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"><var id="yui-ie-cursor"></var>2. Is there an organized procedure that I must follow to ensure getting good output that I'm missing?</div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Qgis-user mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org">Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
