[gdal-dev] GetGeoTransform returning different values

[Cory Foy]

Hi All,

Sorry for the bother again - I noticed that when I use gdalinfo to query a document (in this case, a GeoPDF) the geotransform coordinates are slightly different than when I can GetGeoTransform using the API on the same document with GDALOpen + GDALGetGeoTransform. But I also noticed the WKS seems to be different in the two as well. Is there a configuration or something else I might be missing that would cause these to be off?
