**The issue**
The GDAL build via MacPorts as part of qgis3 installation currently lacks
support for PDF files, which means qgis3 behaves as though PDF files don't
exist.
**Expected behavior**
QGIS ships with PDF support in all other distribution modes. GDAL as a
QGIS3 dependency should therefore be built with poppler to enable PDF
support.
I was able to fix the problem with `sudo port install poppler` followed by
`sudo port install gdal +pdf +poppler`
**Steps to reproduce**
1. Install GDAL as a qgis3 dependency via MacPorts using `sudo port
install qgis3`.
2. Attempt to open or georeceference a PDF in Qgis3
3. Run `gdalinfo --formats | grep -i pdf`.
4. Observe that PDF support is not listed.
**System Information**
- OS: macOS: Sonoma on M3 Max
- GDAL Versions:
Broken: `gdal @3.9.0_0+postgresql16+proj9`
Fixed: `gdal @3.9.0_0+poppler+postgresql16+proj9`
