It is no problem at all to convert a PDF into any other vector format
but I've found it very difficult to define charcteristics that
automagically can tell between runways, taxiways and other objects that
happen to be part of the chart. You always have to spend significant
manual effort to separate the data we need.
On the other hand it might be worthwhile to spend this effort once we
have a means to reliably convert airport layouts back and forth between
vector layout and X-Plane format.
Cheers,
Martin.
Except that the X-Plane format is just a bad hack todays and has reach
its limitation. This file format
does not handle taxiways or curves, or ground traffic or docking systems
or usual airport buildings.
It's just a soup of rectangles (except of course the runways and
frequency informations).
