Boris,
Use gdalwarp to convert your jpeg to Geographic coordinates (I think
it needs to be converted for KML anyways):
gdalwarp -t_srs EPSG:4326 in.jpg out.jpg
then use gdalinfo to get the corner coordinates.
Currently the entire page of the PDF is rendered into the image.
Perhaps we can convince Even to add an option to convert only the mapped
area (or mask everything else?)
Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

My objective is to make a KML ground overlay with a geospatial PDF map.
Using GDAL's translate utility I have converted the PDF to a JPEG. The
next step and problem for me is to write the text of the KML ground
overlay, which requires a text of bounding box information like this:
<LatLonBox>
<north>37.91904192681665</north>
<south>37.46543388598137</south>
<east>15.35832653742206</east>
<west>14.60128369746704</west>
<rotation>-0.1556640799496235</rotation>
</LatLonBox>
As GDAL's output, I saw that the entire PDF with legend, title, etc
and not just the map image was converted.
As GDAL's output, I also saw 2 parts of data that seem they are useful
to match a bounding box to the map within the jpeg, but I cant figure
out the puzzle of how to make this work? Can I get the bounding box of
the entire PDF image with this information below?
Corner Coordinates:
Upper Left ( 666937.758, 2024687.983)
Lower Left ( 666991.811, 2018338.153)
Upper Right ( 674511.276, 2024754.795)
Lower Right ( 674565.328, 2018404.965)
Center ( 670751.543, 2021546.474)

I realize the coordinate above need to be converted to lat/long to be
a KML ground overlay onto Google Maps, which I think I can handle.
But I am unsure if I need to extract the map image from the jpeg using
the NEATLINE?
How are the Corner Coordinates translated into a bounding box?
Any suggestions?
