  1. Georegistering PDF D. Alan Stewart TerraGo Technologies Presentation to Atlanta ESRI DevMeetup November 8, 2011

  2. The Beginning • Invented in 2002 by Layton Graphics, Inc. • The customer was SBC, now AT&T • Rendering engineering records to PDF • SBC wanted real-world measuring capability • Adobe Reader plugin transformed PDF coordinates to UTM • If you can do one, why not do them all? • GeoPDF® and 2003 patent application

  3. Evolution • Free Adobe Reader plugin released • TerraGo Technologies spun out in 2005 • Patent granted in 2008 • TerraGo grants usage rights to Adobe • Adobe releases Reader 9 • ESRI releases ArcGIS 9.3 • New, competing georegistration method

  4. Today • New method submitted to ISO as part of the PDF specification (ISO method) • Original method submitted to Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC method) • TerraGo and Adobe support both methods • ISO supports more obscure coordinate systems • OGC supports greater accuracy

  5. How Does It Work? • Applied to a PDF Page object • Specify an area on the page surface • Specify a map coordinate system • Specify a transformation

  6. OGC Method Excerpt from a Page dictionary:/LGIDict << /Description (Title) /CTM [(35.28267) (0) (0) (35.28267) (205188.64) (3207094.8)] /Neatline [(72) (132) (153) (3274) (2888) (3215) (2834) (74)] /Projection << /Description (WGS 84 UTM 16N) /ProjectionType (TC) /Datum (WGE) /CentralMeridian (-87.0) /OriginLatitude (0.0) /FalseEasting (500000.0) /FalseNorthing (0.0) /ScaleFactor (0.999600) /Type /Projection >> /Type /LGIDict /Version (2.1)>>

  7. ISO Method Excerpt from a Page dictionary:/VP [ << /Type /Viewport /Bbox [0 0 2960 3345] /Name (Title) /Measure << /Type /Measure /Subtype /GEO /Bounds [0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0] /GPTS [29.0 -90.0 30.0 -90.0 30.0 -89.0 29.0 -89.0] /LPTS [0.024324 0.039461 0.051689 0.978774 0.975675 0.961136 0.957432 0.022122] /GCS << /Type /PROJCS /WKT (PROJCS["WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_16N",GEOGCS["GCS_WGS_1984",DATUM["D_WGS_1984",SPHEROID["WGS_1984",6378137,298.257223563]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",-87],PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["false_easting",500000],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["Meter",1]]) >> >> >>

  8. Comparison • OGC uses the /CTM key to specify the transformation from PDF to map • ISO uses a combination of the /Bbox, /GPTS and /LPTS keys for the same • OGC uses datum and projection codes, plus projection parameter keys to describe the map coordinate system • ISO uses Well-Known Text for the same • OGC uses the /Neatline key to specify the map bounds • ISO uses the /Bounds key for the same

  9. Additional Notes • PDF transformations use the lower left corner of the page as the origin, unlike world files • OGC uses PDF strings instead of PDF numbers for higher precision (PDF numbers are only32 bits) • Well-Known Text used by ISO is general but poorly standardized • ISO supports EPSG codes

  10. One More Thing TerraGo now supports 3D georegistration!
