[Qgis-user] qGIS and Avenza pdfMap

[Laurence Béchet]

Hi,

I exactly had the same question some time ago. Here are the few steps 
I'm following for my maps:

1) in the composer manager, tick "world file on" as Goyo's explained and 
export as a tiff file (actually you'll get 2 files, the tiff one and one 
with the geo reference data). You must have qGIS 2.10 at least to get 
that "world file on" option in composer, though
2) upload the tiff file in qGIS (you'll get the message that the file 
doesn't have any CRS)
3) select raster/ conversion/ translate and your Target SRS  to create 
your final georeferenced tiff file (if you uploaded that new tiff in 
qGIS, you would not get the message that it doesn't have a CRS)
4) upload that last file in pdfmaps!

Cheers
Laurence

I tend to be rather adventurous, and often can find images of maps for places I travel, but not with the geo referencing.  I have tried to use QGIS and was able to make images with references, but when using print composer to save the pdf, Avenza says the map is not referenced.  :(
