[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr: Unable to open datasource [SVG, PDF] with the following drivers

[klo uo]

Hi,

I have vector data in PDF format, which I tried to georeference with
org2ogr -gcp feature and output basic Shapefile, but program complains that
it's unable to read the PDF file, which I confirm as valid by processing it
with ghostscript.

I then converted PDF to SVG and confirmed that SVG is well-formed and valid
XML, but again ogr2ogr complains about it.

Finally by converting initial PDF to DXF, ogr2ogr was able to complete the
task.

I want to avoid converting PDF to other format and especially to DXF which
makes the process slow, so I'm hoping for advice. I can provide the test
files if necessary.  Thanks.

I use 64 bit GDAL 1.10.1, released 2013/08/26 from gisinternals on Windows 8
