Hi List, Hi Jody
First of all, sorry for cross-posting!
Last Night I had a look at the iText Project [1] Jody has mentioned and I
have to dive deeper to get a clue what it does and which part of the API is
currently used by geotools/geoserver.
What I like to get is a pdf file where the user could use (but not required)
the free terrago toolbar [2] to measure distances and areas and type lat/lon
coordinates to jump to locations within the pdf. But it is required to have
CRS information about the data/content within the document. In addition it
would be great to have layers in the hierarchy view (Index) and search
capabilities on the feature content (attribute values).
But however, would't that be nice features for all geoserver/geotools folks
and end-users to get a ready to go pdf for the field and have these
capabilities.
Maybe some of you could point me to the code where the pdf stuff is taking
place ... I'm going to read the adope pdf documentation [4] to find a hint
if some TAGs are missed to act like a geopdf. And properly it's already
supported by iText to create the meta information. An other relevant
documentation is "PDF Geo-registration Encoding Best Practice Version
2.2<http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=40537>
" at OGC standards best practices home [3].
Do you think we could create an enhancement in geotools/geoserver for that?
Or can we just discuss to find a way how to solve it.
Thanks for any advice and any suggestions.
Frank
