Description

If you use the PDF export feature from Composer it will not give an error if unable to create the PDF

e.g. the file is already in use, or else it can generate a blank PDF for no apparent reason.

This is pretty annoying when you are spitting out a series of map sections as PDFs and you discover some of them are blank or an old version.
