I am trying to georeference a pdf into my QGIS project.
I am doing the exact same way as I have done many many times (same transformation settings, number of reference points...). After doing the georeferencing, the raster shows up in my layer panel but it is not visible. Whether I hide all other layers, change transparency, zoom to layer...the layer is there but invisible. I'm using 3.4.10 (Madeira) which is the version I have been using for months
What am I doing wrong?
Issue resolved. In case anybody face the same problem, first check out your pdf source file. In my case, the pdf was already georeferenced and layered. I usually work with simple pdf image with no coordinates data at all. In this case, the pdf, which is apparently extracted from Arcmap, already has geographic data embedded in the file and using the qgis georeferencer seems to be breaking everything. To overlay this pdf in my project, I just had to load it as a raster. It opened right where it is supposed to be.
