convert .pdf to .shp

[Brent Fraser]

Wokar,

  One way to do it is to use GhostView/Ghostscript to convert the vectors in a PDF doc to dxf, then use some other software (ArcView, GlobalMapper, etc) to convert dxf to shp.   There will not be any geo-referencing or coordinate system definition information, so you'll have to add that somehow to make the data useful in Mapserver.
