[gdal-dev] Relating to GeoLocation tool of Geospatial PDF Document

[Vankadara, Sunil]

Hi Jukka Rahkonen,

Thanks for the provided information.
Now I am able to see the lat/long values in the GeoLocator tool for the files created with ISO32000 option.
I have installed the Terrago tool bar and created the file with OGC_BP option and noticed that neither Adobe's GeoLocator tool nor Terrago Geolocator toll showing the coordinates.
In fact the Terrago Geolocator tool is greyed out for this OGC_BP option file.  Actually I am confused where this OGC_BP option used in creating the PDF documents? Or is it needs to used using the Terrago s/w only?

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.
