<br>
A quick-and-dirty solution may be to fake the tiff that was exported from the composer and georefernce it against your project, and save that as a geotiff.<br>

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm investigating the use of electronic devices to record data
when people are doing field work. Apps like PDF Maps require
referenced maps in pdf or tiff format. While it's quite easy to
design a referenced map from a GIS project with ArcGIS, it's seems
to be quite a challenge with qGIS.<br />
<br />
I have a qGIS project with different shapefiles. If I use <i>project/save
as image</i> and create a .tiff file, then use <i>raster/conversion/translate</i>
the tiff file into a geotiff, the result is georeferenced. But the
map itself is not very exciting.<br />
<br />
If I use the composer to create the .tiff file and then use <i>raster/conversion/translate</i>
the tiff file into a geotiff (as in the previous case), the final
map is not georeferenced.<br />
<br />
At this stage I'm kind of lost, as the composer allows setting
like GDAL, CRS etc.. and everything seems to be set properly.<br />
<br />
I'm on Windows7 pro, with qGIS Wien 2.8.3 (I've got a rendering
pbe with version 2.10 which forced me to downgrade to 2.8).<br />
<br />
Would someone have any ideas? What's the best practice to create
geo referenced tif or pdf?<br />
<br />
