Hi,

The OGC_BP option is actually  created by TerraGo and I am surprised that it 
does not work for you with the TerraGo Toolbar because that is the native way 
for adding georeferencing info into GeoPDF (tm) files. In some of my early 
tests I found problems with interoperability:

Only ISO: OK for Adobe reader, not-OK for TerraGO
Only OGC-BP: not-OK for Adobe reader, OK for TerraGo
Both ISO and OGC-BP: OK for Adobe reader, not OK for TerraGo toolbar

I made a bug report about the TerraGo toolbar a few years ago and I think that 
in later versions the bug was fixed so that it could handle also the "only ISO" 
 and "ISO + OGC-BP" cases. Unfortunately I don't have any computer with TerraGo 
toolbar available right now but I will try to make some tests later. An ideal 
case the BOTH option suits both for Adobe reader TerraGo toolbar so you could 
use that and reach the best interoperability and advanced features of TerraGo 
toolbar. Only users with ancient TerraGo Toolbar would be sad but they should 
upgrade in any case. But your findings suggest that this may not be the case.

Please tell us the exact versions of your Adobe Reader and TerraGo Toolbar  and 
the operating system you are running.

I know that TerraGo folks at least used to follow gdal-dev so perhaps we will 
get some true information soon.

Hi,

Don't use the -co GEO_ENCODING=OGC_BP option alone if you want to show 
coordinates with standard Acrobat viewer without the TerraGo toolbar. Use the 
default which means ISO32000, or BOTH.

Confirm the result with gdalinfo "gdalinfo output.pdf". If source SRS is not 
recognized define it explicitly by using parameters -s_srs and -t_srs.
Alternatively you can just attach SRS to output with -a_srs.
