I think those that you extract from Jepp are geo-referenced.
How do you extract those?
Under IOS you cannot print a whole airport, only 1 page at a time (and then combine the PDFs or whatever).

Yes, you need one page per file! Otherwise geo-referencing doesn’t work.
Not sure how to do it from iOS – I think person that told me about the method was using a PC.
Yes – I know about that too 
but Jepp say they are going to “sunset” (a horrible fashionable marketing expression) their non IOS products.

I have done that and the Jepp PDF shows in the user documents but it is not georeferenced so I guess I must be doing something wrong

Sorry, as I don’t have any Jepp access, then unable to actually resolve it…

Allegedly, there should be some browser access?
Or do they disable that as well?!
Just been playing with this. I don’t have a Jepp product on IOS but I do have on a PC.
This describes it a bit.
I’ve just tried to generate a single page PDF from the old Flitestar but the file disappears somewhere on the PC and I can’t find it. Maybe it is not even being created. But Adobe PDF is a crap piece of software; normally I use something like CutePDF which has proper config.
The “browser access” is something that exists for airline pilots. It is some other Jepp product which the “great unwashed” don’t know anything about But I know from others that you can just print stuff off it, one airport at a time.
Has anyone managed to do this?
There are special techniques e.g. to get a Word doc to a PDF with a clickable TOC is a real job. The only way I found was to Export to a PDF. None of the “printer” methods seem to work.
Interesting.
To georef a “rectangular” projection (Mercator) map you should need only 2 points, bottom left and top right, or similar.
They are clearly storing the coordinates in one of the PDF information fields; there are many (e.g. copyright holder). It’s a bit like EXIF for Jpegs and such.
Does anyone have an example PDF file which works in FF?
