We present identifications and accurate positions for about 280 planetary
nebulae (PNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).
These positions are needed for follow-up ground or space observations.
Entire Schmidt plates have been scanned with the MAMA micro-densitometer, and
PPM stars used for the astrometric reduction.
The precision achieved is always better than , and better than
for most of the objects not located close to the border of the
plates.
Photometry in the B band is provided with an accuracy of about 0.2 magnitude,
except in too crowded zones where the background cannot be determined.
Cross-identifications with IRAS sources have also been tabulated and discussed.
