Hi,
while talking about the svg export, I have another question.
When I use print composer to generate a map, export it to SVG and import
it to Illustrator, some shape files are not cropped to the extend of the
print composer frame. Instead the whole shape file is shown.
What's the reason for this and how can it be solved?
Thanks
Harald

Albin,
You are correct that SVG does cause some problems and often generates
an error message which I usually ignore when exporting a file.
A Pdf does work in Illustrator but I have had better success with SVG,
especially if you wish to edit any map features or separate them into
layers.
Of course QGIS purists would say why not do everything in QGIS, the
reality is that many cartographers (for the moment) prefer to finalise
their maps in a graphics package such as Adobe Illustrator. Exporting
from ArcGIS to Adobe Illustrator (and retaining layers) is also a
common route used by cartographers.
