[gdal-dev] PDF-->JPEG-->KML. Confused about association betweenKML bounding box and PDF's neatli

[Eli Adam]

Boris,

Did you try something like:

gdalwarp -t_srs "EPSG:4326" in.jpg out.jpg

or 

gdalwarp -t_srs 'EPSG:4326' in.jpg out.jpg


HTH, Eli

thanks..I am almost there...I think I am making a simple usage typo?

gdalwarp without the option '-t_srs EPSG:4326' works OK.

But it doesnt work with the command written exactly as you have it

After that command, I do not get anything processed (it just outputs to the
screen the usage info).

I also had no luck with trying different variations of the -t_srs option
such as

gdalwarp -t_srs "+proj=EPSG:4326" in.jpg out.jpg

I am using the most recent SVN GDAL.
