[Qgis-user] Forced raster export

[Stephen Wandling]

I have pulled together data from a few sources for my current map 
project.  I was getting coordinate issues until I noted the "Set Projet 
CRS from Layer" option.  So, I have been adding a shape file from the 
local 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.
