Stephen, what happens if you ignore the message and still request for the

Given that it's a setting available in almost all configurable items
(layer, feature, label, print composer items) it'd be hard to point you to
a single and right place.

<pre class="gmail_msg">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

Not exactly sure, but It may be that you need to have the *Print as
Raster* option Picked.
Its in *Export Settings* under *Composition*.
Hope it helps,

Richard.

Regional District and setting the CRS to that. Then I add other layers.
It seemed to be dealing with my coordinate issues.
But now, when I create my map in Composer, when I go to Save, as a PDF,
I am informed that I have to save as a raster. The notice mentions
'blended modes' and 'vector layer transparency'. I did have a transparency
set for one layer, which I eliminated, and I do not know what 'blended
modes' might mean, unless it means the 'blended CRS' I have created in my
map?
The raster PDF does not meet my needs.
