Dear List
I'm trying to work out what the most reliable and efficient workflow is to
export a print layout to a vector format (pdf, ps or svg, I don't care as long
as it works).
I have a map with a raster image in the background and a three vector layers on
top of it (2 x points, 2 x lines) with no more than 30 objects in each layer.
The print layout is an A3 landscape.
A few days ago the map exported to pdf without problems (size exported 11 MB). Since then
I have added two vector layers and now the print composer crashes with the "bad
allocation" error. I have tried pdf and svg, same error. I haven't updated QGIS.
What are your experiences with vector export?
Can anyone share a reliable workflow that consistently produces correct vector
output?
Would it make a difference if I installed ghostscript to export to a postscript
file?
Many thanks for your ideas on this subject.

I export each layer one at a time and then import them into the final
.svg. You should have a reference mark to position and scale them if
that becomes necessary. For really complex output some manual
composition will be necessary (ie. text and symbols).
What? Did you think you could come and go like the wind?
