[Qgis-user] Atlas printing to PDF

[Springfield Harrison]

Hi Nigel,

Okay, note that.

However, I cannot get QGIS 3.32.3 to load copies of a couple of my 
projects.  It seemed to hang up while dealing with certain files which I 
then went back to the original 3.16.4 and removed.  Then it would hang 
up on a different file.

In a new project, 3.32.3 will load those files but not from the original 
project.  Is 3.32.3 known to have problems?  It seemed to install all 
right from the Windows .MSI installer.

Update: the program will actually load those files, it just takes up 10 
min. to do so.  And then there are huge delays during the work session.  
The files loaded individually into a new project with no problem.

Once I finally got it working, I was able to try printing the Atlas.  No 
change, it just prints one blank page.  No error messages, just a fail.

Not sure what the answer is, I don't have the time to keep trying new 
versions when they are mostly a disappointment.

Nevertheless, thanks very much for your thoughts…

--------
Cheers, Spring
