Re: [Qgis-user] Georeferencing for Avenza
Hi Kirk Some of the earlier posts from a few years back also pointed out the need for the World File also, so I have been enabling that wherever I see that as an option. When exporting as a pdf it is not produced, even though ticked, although when exporting as a tiff rather than a pdf, it is produced, and looks to be produced correctly. An export Option box pops up where you can set the resolution, crop to extent, tick a box to generate a world file and enable antialiasing. The tif file produced is referenced, but weirdly. When the map (a Perth local one as a trial) is imported into Avenza, it states that the image is on map, but when the locate icon is engaged, you are not on the map. When you use the Measure tools in Acrobat reader, the geospatial Lats and Longs are completely random. I can't see it as being anything other than a bug at this point.

Re: [Qgis-user] Georeferencing for Avenza
Hi Peter. I have been exporting georeferenced TIFs and using them in Avenza without any issues so far, in both in GDA94 (lat/lon) and GDA MGA zones. I always go trough the layout/composer and create a map covering the whole page. Then I export it as a TIF. The downside is you have to set a much higher DPI then what you raster data is actually in, and the files get very big. About 150mb for an A4 layout at 600dpi, which is what I usually use. Of course this can vary depending on the extent of your map. The larger the area you wanna load in Avenza, the higher your DPI setting needs to be. I work with areas about 150x80km in one A4 layout. Hope this helps. Cheers. On Tue, Oct 30, 2018 at 8:31 PM Kirk Schmidt wrote: > Hi Peter: > > Generate the map you require in the field using the print composer.
