GeoPDF is relatively new <br class="">and you need both a new GDAL and a new QGIS. But normally you don't have <br class="">to worry about GDAL. If you use the new MacOS all in one installer, GDAL <br class="">should be installed automatically with it. With the older way of <br class="">installing QGIS on the Mac you still had to install it separately.
