[gdal-dev] geoPDF file "not recognized as a supported format" by GDAL1.8dev ?

[Boris Dev]

A GDAL doc <http://www.gdal.org/frmt_pdf.html> says GDAL1.8 handles
geospatial PDF file (which I assume are the same as geoPDF topo files of the
USGS).

The problem is that after compiling GDAL1.8 from source GDAL doesn't
recognize my geoPDF file.

When I try both of the following:

$gdalinfo my_geopdf.pdf

$gdal_translate my_geopdf.pdf

It returns:

ERROR 4: 'my_geopdf.pdf' not recognized as a supported format"

When compiling GDAL and POPPLER (which is also needed for this problem) I
made sure to do the following:

gdal$./configure --with-poppler=yes --with-python

poppler$./configure --enable-xpdf-headers

...any suggestions on where I am going wrong with this?

I am new to using GDAL.

My final objective to to extact the geoPDF images as jpegs and somehow
extract the latitude/longitude bounding box information of the image so I
can create KMLs.

THANKS!!
