Laurence,

In Print Composer on the COMPOSITION tab you will find a "World file on" tick box which will give you the required tfw, jgw, pgw etc files for your exported raster. It is not on the Item tab as you may have more than one map item to compose (e.g. inset or location map).

When you export from composer, it's just a tiff, not a geotiff (someone else correct me if I'm wrong!)

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.

    Hi,

    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.

    I have a qGIS project with different shapefiles. If I use
    /project/save as image/ and create a .tiff file, then use
    /raster/conversion/translate/ the tiff file into a geotiff, the
    result is georeferenced. But the map itself is not very exciting.

    If I use the composer to create the .tiff file and then use
    /raster/conversion/translate/ the tiff file into a geotiff (as in
    the previous case), the final map is not georeferenced.

    At this stage I'm kind of lost, as the composer allows setting
    like GDAL, CRS etc.. and everything seems to be set properly.

    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).

    Would someone have any ideas? What's the best practice to create
    geo referenced tif or pdf?

    Regards
    Laurence Bechet
