I’m anxious for a geopdf2geotiff converter. As a GIS professional, a geotiff is much easier to merge, reproject, clip, etc than a Geopdf. If the Geopdf format is published, maybe Gdal will come up with something.

Something still doesn’t seem right with GeoPDF. That article is from almost a year ago. TerraGo’s website has many expensive programs to create GeoPDF, but nothing to convert from GeoPDF to a standard format?? Global Mapper was looking into supporting GeoPDF, but it requires a license?? I hope you are correct and it will be an open standard. But seems like if TerraGo was really planning on making it full open standard, then they would have released something by now to convert them.

TerraGo has submitted GeoPDF’s format to the Open Geospatial Consortium for approval as an open standard:

Where did you get the idea that GeoPDF was being promoted as open standard? From what I’ve seen it’s anything but open standard since if you want to do anything but view them, you need to purchase expensive software. I hope they release them as GeoTIFFs also. Shame if they don’t.

Wow, sweet; now to just start converting them to vector maps for GPS units.

I’m surprised they don’t have the entire grand canyon covered.

It’s be nice to have a “Create GeoTiff” button or menu with the toolbar.
