A <a href="http://www.gdal.org/frmt_pdf.html">GDAL doc</a> says GDAL1.8 handles geospatial PDF file (which I assume are the same as geoPDF topo files of the USGS). <br><br>The problem is that after compiling GDAL1.8 from source GDAL doesn't recognize my geoPDF file.<br>
<br>When I try both of the following:<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$gdalinfo my_geopdf.pdf</span><br><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">$gdal_translate my_geopdf.pdf</span><br>
<br>It returns:<br><br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ERROR 4: 'my_geopdf.pdf' not recognized as a supported format"</span><br><br>When compiling GDAL and POPPLER (which is also needed for this problem) I made sure to do the following:<br>
<br><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">gdal$./configure --with-poppler=yes
--with-python </span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">poppler$./configure --enable-xpdf-headers </span><br>
<br>...any suggestions on where I am going wrong with this? <br><br>I am new to using GDAL. <br><br>My final objective to to extact the geoPDF images as jpegs and somehow extract the latitude/longitude bounding box information of the image so I can create KMLs.<br>
<br>THANKS!!<br>
