Hello,

I'm trying to work with GeospatialPDF generation from an XML file on Linux.

Using Ubuntu 18.04, I compiled the sources from version 3.0.4 myself.

Unfortunately, when I tried to execute the Python script with my xml, I got
the following message :
ERROR 6: PDF node not supported due to PDF read support in this GDAL build

Is it due to the fact that I don't have any PDF viewer capable of reading
GeospatialPDF installed ?

No.

And if that is the case, is there any way of bypassing the error, given
that I can just transfer the file to a Windows system to read it.

What do
        gdalinfo --formats |& grep -i pdf
and
        ogrinfo --formats |& grep -i pdf
report ?
Does the system gdalinfo or ogrinfo (v2.?? IIRC) give a different answer ?

Did you include any of the configure options
        --with-poppler=...
        --with-podofo=...
        --with-pdfium=...
        --disable-driver-pdf
        --enable-pdf-plugin
when you built gdal ?
The --with-... options may require a suitable path to the library.

I'm not sure whether all of these have PDF write support.
