---------------------------------------------------------+------------------
 When producing A0 print compositions, using a raster basemap and vector
 overlay, the only means of using the map is by Printing to Adobe, which
 can only be done if you have the professional license (this may also be
 true for other packages, though this is the only one I had installed).
 Scenarios tried:
 - If I check the Print as Raster box I cannot export the image because it
 says the image size is too big (Error  - 'Image too big. Creation of image
 with 14043x9933 pixels failed. Export aborted').
 - If I uncheck Print as Raster and export as an image (png or pdf), I
 receive an error message either during creation or when opening the image
 that says Errors exist on the Page, or words to the effect that it could
 not complete the task.
 - If I try to print directly from the QGIS print composer to the Plotter
 printer, the basemap is printed, but not the vector overlay.

 I used the 1:250k raster available as Open Data from the Ordnance Survey,
 tiles SU and SZ, but would normally use 1:50k for larger maps.
