In short, I'm trying to create PDF maps that include polygon shapefiles over an OpenLayers Google Maps layer (OSM would work, too, I just need a street-map baselayer to identify features).
However, even on 2.1.0-Master, bug 5827 (http://hub.qgis.org/issues/5827) still presents problems—the resulting PDF is, more often than not, a combination of poorly aligned or mis-scaled layers. It seems that most often, the Google Maps layer is at a different scale and somewhat offset from the shapefile layer. My shapefile layer are in EPSG 3857. My experience has been that if I repeatedly go through these steps: 1. Re-scale or reposition the map in the composer (by very small increments, more to force a redraw than anything else) 2. Export to PDF I eventually get a correct PDF output. Sometimes, I get better results by exiting the print composer and the re-entering it, and sometimes I need to exit QGIS entirely and then re-enter the print composer...and even then, I sometimes have to repeatedly make the map redraw before getting the right output. Exiting and re-entering is particularly obnoxious at this point given the bug that results in OpenLayers layers not reappearing when reopening a project. Does anyone have a set of workaround steps for creating a PDF from print composer that works consistently? I can live with a workaround, but I'd really like to have a consistent one, and I have yet to come up with a set of steps that consistently produces the correct output. Thanks.
