<DIV><FONT size=2> One way to do it is to use GhostView/Ghostscript to
convert the vectors in a PDF doc to dxf, then use some other software (ArcView,
GlobalMapper, etc) to convert dxf to shp. There will not be any
geo-referencing or coordinate system definition information, so you'll have to
add that somehow to make the data useful in Mapserver.</FONT></DIV>
