Hi Jukka Rahkonen,

Thanks for the prompt information. My GDAL is not linked to proj4 libraries to use ISO32000 option. 
I am trying to link the GDAL with Proj4 and test the Geolocation workflow.

Regards
Sunil

Hi,

Don't use the -co GEO_ENCODING=OGC_BP option alone if you want to show coordinates with standard Acrobat viewer without the TerraGo toolbar. Use the default which means ISO32000, or BOTH.

Confirm the result with gdalinfo "gdalinfo output.pdf". If source SRS is not recognized define it explicitly by using parameters -s_srs and -t_srs.
Alternatively you can just attach SRS to output with -a_srs.
