The standard PDF, to your point, does not contain anything that is identifiable by a parser as GIS information; particularly when it comes to digital parsing and recognition of GIS objects.
Certainly it is possible to encode a geographic map into a PDF format. This is all I was referring to. Such a PDF file will contain geographic information. Given the absence of an added layer of GIS information then the ability to couple this to a fully georeferenced map will be loose at best. However this is my starting point. You have now pointed me to a potential end-point (GeoPDF) which will provide for a far tighter coupling. -----Original Message----- From: Leonard Rosenthol [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 4:37 PM To: Sargrad, Dave Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [Podofo-users] trying to build podofo using visual studio On Nov 6, 2007, at 10:09 PM, Sargrad, Dave wrote: > Though the PDF files that I'm looking contain geographic map > information they are not in a special form.
