Hi, Thanks. At least it is pretty up to date, latest additions in the howto are reflecting changes in the GDAL PDF driver from a few days ago.
This kind of PDF really offers some features which usually mean either using some web application or installing a special GIS software. With a non-free but non-cost TerraGo add-on to the Adobe reader you can even see a marker on a map showing the your GPS location. Works fine a GPS mouse, just plug it, select the port in PDF reader and you've done. But I have a feeling that some people do not want to use Adobe Reader and it is probable that other viewers do not support the most interesting stuff with attributes in the model tree or even selecting layer visibility. Perhaps someday someone will do a review about PDF viewers and how they support features like georeferencing, layers and attributes in the model tree. -Jukka- edgar.sol...@web.de wrote: > > well written howto. really ;) > as i understand it you could easily create an overview pdf (raster) with more > detailed tile pdfs (vector) for you employees in the field providing them with > searchable maps on every computer that reads pdfs. > > this would eliminate the need for special map applications and their > hardware in certain areas (e.g. field work) i guess. > > ..ede > > On 29.11.2012 06:46, Rahkonen Jukka wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Read also how you can make geospatial PDF maps with layers and attribute > data with other open source tools.
