For rote "conversion", to which GDAL is well suited, wrapping a raster image in PDF clothing is a fairly simple exercise, so a full-blown library isn't necessary. With vector data, you have symbolization issues, font issues, etc. One option would be to use PostScript as an intermediate, and use Ghostscript to handle the PDF bits, and post-process the PDF file to add the geospatial bits. | That said, I'd like to see the Open Source GeoPDF effort go | forward; I think there's very good value there...
