<div dir="ltr">Hi Johanna, <br>What version of QGIS are you using on what platform with how much RAM? I have found that too much information can be a challenge for even an A2 image export (300dpi) using (2.12 on XP with 3Gb RAM). <br>What is _scary_ is that some little things get dropped and there is no warning. <br>Let us know, Chris<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Chris Berens, GISc<br></div><div><a href="http://www.mapland.co.za" target="_blank">www.mapland.co.za</a><br></div><div>+27 (0)82 567 9322<br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

<font face="sans-serif" size="2">I do not have 'Discourage labels from covering features' ticked.</font><br>

<font face="sans-serif" size="2">I have a rule for font size that says if a street is shorter than 100m then use a smaller font size. This helped to get a lot of smaller labels on the map, but does not get everything.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">When I zoom in on my canvas, I can see the labels, but when I zoom back to see the whole map, some of the labels disappear. They don't all appear on the PDF either - but the ones that do not appear aren't always the same as the ones that don't show on my canvas.</font><br>

<font face="sans-serif" size="2">Can someone suggest something that I can do (aside from telling the client that their request is unrealistic?)</font><br>
