[Qgis-user] qGIS and Avenza pdfMap

[Arvy Dar]

Hi Laurence,

I have in the past, imported my QGIS data into Global Mapper and used that
to create GeoPDFs for use with Avenza's wonderful PDFMaps program.  I'll be
very happy if I can skip that step and do it all in QGIS, but I don't
understand your step 2 ("Upload the tiff file in QGIS") - upload to where?
I hope I'm not asking a really stupid question, but I don't quite follow
your steps.

Thanks and Regards,

Al
