[GRASS-user] import GeoPDF into GRASS: projection and boundaries of GeoPDF file?

[Boris.Vasiliev at forces.gc.ca]

Unfortunately GDAL does not recognize GeoPDF format:

gdalinfo in-geo.pdf

yields

ERROR 4: `in-geo.pdf` not recognized as a supported file format.

followed by a print-out of backtrace information.

Regards,
Boris.

Does GDAL support it even minimally?
ie does `gdalinfo` give the image bounds?
