Unfortunately, at the moment the GDAL support for GeoPDF treats them entirely as rasters --- the PDF data is converted to an image with the poppler library and georeferenced using the data in the GeoPDF. GDAL 2.0.0 and later support rendering only part of the image (vector, base imagery, text) rather than all at once, but even so vector data in the GeoPDF is rendered into images. It would be lovely if GeoPDF vector data could be extracted into Grass vectors, but that's not possible through gdal yet, as far as I can tell. -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM "And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway?
