[gdal-dev] Convert GeoPDF with gdal_translate

[Pekka Sarkola]

Thanks Even!

And also Jukka and Ari. Jukka: Is there still Windows machines in Finland? Interesting, Land of Linux ;-) Well, even I have few.

Ok, I try GDAL versions with 3rd party librariries

I agree with Ari: gdalinfo should some how show that it has only write option. This maybe bigger change. Should I add this to feature request page?

Rgs,

Pekka

Not exactly your installation, but the build you've picked up. I've verified this is a valid geospatial PDF file recognized by the GDAL PDF driver.
I assume your GDAL build has only write support for geospatial PDF (which doesn't require any third-party library), but not read support that requires linking to a third-party library, like Poppler or Podofo. Unfortunately gdalinfo --formats can only report read/write support even when it's write- only.
