Description

I've experienced some problems when I export maps to vector-pdf from the composer. All features in the exported pdf are vectors except for the layers which have the relative new line pattern fill set as symbology type. These are rendered as rasters, and this become a problem when trying to print to larger formats as A1 as some features from these layers disappear in the exported pdf.

I can confirm this behavior. Noticed this while trying to figure out why a PDF exported map had seen a huge increase in size.

SVG fill are also rasterized.

Is this being fixed by the next release? It's pretty crucial that this works if one wants to use QGIS to make printed maps.

Do you have any ideas of how much this would cost if I'd sponsor this change?

Hi, I do experience this problem with QGIS 3.0.2-Girona. I'm trying to export roads from OpenStreetMap on a metropolitan territory (40 km x 30 km) into a svg file. Do you think that it fails and rasters the roads because it is too much informations?
Thank you in advance!

I used a VBOX and managed, on Ubuntu, to export a fully vectorized version of my layer. If that can help...
