I am trying to export my map layout in QGIS3.4.5 on OSX 10.14. I've made the layout look exactly how I want it to look, but whenever I export to PDF, the PDF file is just a blank white page. The console gives me the message: "Export layout: Successfully exported layout", which is puzzling. When I export to TIFF and PNG, it gives me the same message, but no file is output.
The map I'm trying to make is really basic. I attached a screenshot here, in case there is something I am missing. It's just a hillshaded DEM and some symbolized X-Y data. I would think this would be an easy thing to fix, but all the solutions to similar problems I've seen on here have not worked.
Solutions I have tried:
- Reduce the file size of the rasters by clipping them to my study area
- Lower the DPI
- Export to image
- Remove ESRI basemaps from QuickMapServices
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am stumped...
