[Qgis-user] Wall Map

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi,

I am replying to the list, too.
You can edit the legend in the print layout itself (delete layers, 
change fonts, change labels...) but not after printing to pdf. Maybe you 
should give svg export a try (never did it myself, should do it one day) 
and edit the result in incscape.
