<pre wrap="">Dear List
I'm trying to work out what the most reliable and efficient workflow is to export a print layout to a vector format (pdf, ps or svg, I don't care as long as it works).
I have a map with a raster image in the background and a three vector layers on top of it (2 x points, 2 x lines) with no more than 30 objects in each layer. The print layout is an A3 landscape.
A few days ago the map exported to pdf without problems (size exported 11 MB). Since then I have added two vector layers and now the print composer crashes with the "bad allocation" error. I have tried pdf and svg, same error. I haven't updated QGIS.
What are your experiences with vector export?
Can anyone share a reliable workflow that consistently produces correct vector output?
Would it make a difference if I installed ghostscript to export to a postscript file?
Many thanks for your ideas on this subject.

I export each layer one at a time and then import them into the
final .svg. You should have a reference mark to position and scale
them if that becomes necessary. For really complex output some
manual composition will be necessary (ie. text and symbols). <br>

What? Did you think you could come and go like the wind?<br>
