RNG. If you mean the USGS file I dl and opened on my MacBook using Preview to open and grab the map portion. Imported both map portion and photo files into a blank Numbers spreadsheet where I could play with opacity and scaling. Save out as PDF. Took about 15 minutes, but I wasn't trying for a particular scale, just close match.
Used the safari TBN to import the PDF.
Were you able to download image files that didn't have the orange shading over them?
I used the tool at this URL:
Get Maps | topoView
The orange shading makes it very hard to see the topo lines, even when the opacity of the image is greatly reduced.
