I wish I had known this yesterday...
If you ask for help in a NG, you should look out for the answers. :-(
And you shouldn't expect /real-time/ answers. Since Usenet has worldwide impact, people may be at work and/or asleep. Moreover, sometimes people
just catch up with certain groups every week or even less frequent.
If you had posted in comp.infosystems.gis (which is one of the most
appropriate groups for you question), for instance, I probably would have
seen your post on Saturday...
Would you recommend a complete noob go for the stable 2.18 version of QGIS
or the newer 3.0 version?
Definitely 3.0. The open source community in general rarely releases
unreliable full number versions. QGIS is no exception.
Although the GeoPdf files /are/ georeferenced and could be used directly,
they load too slow to make this fun. (Several raster and vector layers
have to be combined and transparency rules to applied in the process of displaying it.) So WMS is the way to go. - Like I recommended in my post:
