Hi Gordon I am quite new with QGIS but have made some experiences with the print composer. First Ialso realised that the pdf generated with the button "pdf" creates huged file sizes. Then I printed my map using an installed pdf-printer. This results in file sizes of 50%.
Saving a defined layout as a template works fine for me. I save my map as a template giving it a specific name and can reload this setting into another project. Use the template manager in the main QGIS-window to rename your created templates. Hope that helps you somehow Pascal
