[OSM-dev] Automatically triggering export as PDF from openstreetmap.org -> share?

[Bjoern Hassler]

Hi Joost, hi Martin,

thanks for the comments - I'll have a look. I may just print the maps by
hand from the OSM site for now, and look into more advanced options in the
future.

QGIS lets you export / print to raster (png), pdf (AFAIK both, raster and
> vector, there's an option "print as raster") and svg (not working well,

> inflate your file).

Yes of course - that's very true! In my case, I'm producing maps a few 100m
across (the size of a college).

Many thanks again!
