[mapserver-users] PDF output with layers

[Carlos Ruiz]

Hey Andy,
The PDF file is not empty, it shows both raster and vector layers. The -mdd LAYERS does not show layers info. I am using MS4W 3.1.3 which, according to the MS4W site has GDAL 2.0.2

How does the pdf look?  Is it empty?

This page:
http://www.gdal.org/frmt_pdf.html

shows the example:

> gdalinfo adobe_style_geospatial.pdf -mdd LAYERS


Does the extra "-mdd LAYERS" help?

Looks like you need GDAL 1.9 or above, what are you on?
