Export GeoPDF when using tmap_save

[CarlosAndres12]

When saving a plot as pdf with tmap the result file does not keep the spatial information of the shapes or rasters used, is there a way to include it?.

Command used:
tmap_save(m_map,"result_map.pdf")

I also posted it on Stack Overflow.

Not sure I understand your question. tmap_save just saves the outcome, not the data behind the plot. Why not also save the R object: saveRDS(m_map, "m_map.rds"), which also contains the shapes/rasters.

The GeoPDF can be imported in external tools like QGIS and keep the spatial information, see: Geospatial PDF

GDAL has a GeoPDF driver, so st_write should be able to write your data to GeoPDF

Yes but tmap allow to create more visually pleasant maps, with st_write you just get the raw raster/shape.

I would not think it would be possible to save tmap objects to GeoPDF in the near future.
