Hi,

I want to turn my QGIS map composer PDF into a GeoPDF or a geospatial PDF. Unfortunately that is not supported, just on a per layer basis from within the main program. I could export my map to TIFF with a world file and use GDAL on that, but I'd like to maintain the vectors and text in the output. Since GDAL supports the creation of GeoPDF, I'd like to ask if there is some kind of documentation on the web where the standard is described of if someone knows an OpenSource library which supports the creation of GeoPDF. I thought of writing a, preferable in Python, program which would add the necessary tags and data to the PDF in order to turn it into a GeoPDF. But I am already stuck at the beginning, because I simply cannot find a good standard documentation. What does GDAL do to turn a raster file into a GeoPDF? I guess I could read the source, but I have no clue on the C-language so I thought I ask here beforehand.

Thanks,

Frank
