Much to my surprise I think you are correct. QGIS can open a TIF file (and a zipped TIF file), but I can't get a GeoPDF to open in QGIS. If I convert the GeoPDF to a TIF with GDAL, it still will not open and gives error "Missing Codec".
Very surprising. I know from past experience that Global Mapper v6.04 will view TIF files that have been converted from GeoPDF via GDAL. Mike On 4/20/20 5:00 PM, qgis-user-requ...@lists.osgeo.org wrote:
It sounds like you downloaded a new USGS product format called the GeoPDF. The ".pdf" suffix is the big clue. I don't know if QGIS 3.2.3 can read those files. I would try downloading the map in a different format. I don't know what site you are using, but the USGS TopoView site (https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/) has the maps available as JPEG, KMZ, GeoTIFF, and GeoPDF. I would recommend the GeoTIFF format as all versions of QGIS support that. Best, ++Eric Fielding
