Rhample,

I've just discovered that there is a Microstation PDF plot driver that allows the creation of a GeoPDF file.

How to make a PDF of your DGN (section GeoPDF)

Thanks,

Mathieu

Hi rhample,

Maybe you are talking about TerraGo Technologies's geospatial extension to Adobe PDF file format, GeoPDF? This extension isn't supported when opening PDF files in Raster Manager.

In XM though, you can still transform (move, scale, rotate and warp) your PDF files. The transformation would be applied as long as the PDF files remained attached to the DGN.

Moreover, with Athens, you would also be able to specify the geocoding information (projection method, datum, etc...) of a PDF file and reproject it at will.

By the way, it seems that Abode is planning to add GIS supports in Acrobat 9.

Thanks,

Mathieu
