I assume your GDAL build has only write support for geospatial PDF (which doesn't require any third-party library), but not read support that requires

only.


I see this now - I don't have poppler nor podofo right now in this machine. The information (read and/or write - in my case only write) is in the meta data of the driver but it is not exposed well by gdalinfo.

Except that it is not there. gdal.h does not define GDAL_DCAP_READ, which should probably be put into the driver meta data as YES almost always except for the GDAL PDF driver without a reader.

I believe without this other software like gdalinfo have no way of knowing whether reading of a dataset is supported.
