Try PNG instead.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #17622: [Print composer] "Crop to content" when exporting adds a black band when items are not placed on the paper https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17622?journal_id=1009082019-02-26T17:54:41ZHarrissou Santanna
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Feedback</i> to <i>Open</i></li></ul><p>That means that a bigger than paper rendering with "crop to content" is not desirable for some formats. Might be worth mentioning this somewhere.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #17622: [Print composer] "Crop to content" when exporting adds a black band when items are not placed on the paper https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17622?journal_id=1009122019-02-26T21:34:15ZNyall Dawson
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Open</i> to <i>Feedback</i></li></ul><p>So it's a documentation issue?</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #17622: [Print composer] "Crop to content" when exporting adds a black band when items are not placed on the paper https://issues.qgis.org/issues/17622?journal_id=1010912019-03-02T08:04:16ZHarrissou Santanna
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Feedback</i> to <i>Open</i></li></ul><p>Maybe (see <a class="external" href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/pull/3483">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/pull/3483</a>) but I'm not convinced that people ever read docs and, the layout component is the part of QGIS where no help button is available, not a single one. So for doc visibility...<br />I thought about a warning message (in bar?) but no idea when to raise it, nor whether it's better.</p>
