Re: [Qgis-user] Exporting png or pdf from print composer does not work, empties canvas (Lyon)

I am relatively new to print composer, but have been able to develop some nice annotated maps. I was able to successfully export to a png one time, but since then, exports to png or pdf or svg all fail and empty the canvas. If I exit out of qgis and re-start, I can find the previously populated
