You just have to load / open the tiff file in QGIS as a raster layer.
To clarify, all steps can be carried out in the local filesystem, no
need to upload anything to a server.
The tiff file created in step 1 has georeferencing info (which QGIS
will understand) in the world file but you will need to manually tell
QGIS what the CRS is.
Step 3 is exporting the layer as a geotiff file. Geotiff carries
georeferenced data, including CRS, in just one file and hopefully
you'll be able to use it with your application.

Re: [Qgis-user] qGIS and Avenza pdfMap
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

Re: [Qgis-user] qGIS and Avenza pdfMap
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!
