GeoPDF to TIFF

There has been a decent number of inquiries lately about exporting GeoPDF to TIFF. You can do this quite easily out of the box using Acrobat version 9.0 Pro Extended. Simply open your GeoPDF file in APEX and export it out as either a TIFF or JPEG2000 image. 

Once the image has been exported from APEX, you can bring it in to other software applications for further processing and analysis. See the IMAGINE GLT below...

There are a few more options available to you for this so please feel free to ask!

ERDAS GeoPDF Webinar

This is just a quick reminder to register for the ERDAS webinar next week entitled, "Create High Quality PDF Maps in ERDAS IMAGINE (Map2PDF for IMAGINE)."

20 November 2008

Do you need to quickly and easily create intelligent maps and images? This webinar introduces Map2PDF for IMAGINE, a new tool that combines TerraGo Technologies’ Map2PDF (now part of TerraGo Publisher Suite) with the power of ERDAS IMAGINE®, the industry’s leading and most complete collection of software tools designed to manipulate, process and understand imagery and vector data. Map2PDF for IMAGINE puts highly advanced maps and images in the hands of soldiers, emergency responders, utility workers, property assessors and others, so they can respond faster, make better decisions and be more productive. With Map2PDF for IMAGINE, you can transform and optimize any map or image into a geo-enabled PDF, also known as a GeoPDF®. Professionals who have limited or no knowledge of complex GIS systems can now access and interact with intelligent maps and images.

Map2PDF for IMAGINE

ERDAS announced today that the ability to export to GeoPDF is now standard in IMAGINE 9.3. Now anyone with this version of IMAGINE can export to GeoPDF from any of its 135 formats as well as from the Map Series tool.  With the Map Series tool, the author can use existing templates or create their own to publish their maps with. 

This tool is ideal for Defense customers, or any organization that needs to deliver data in a simple, free format that anyone can access. In Adobe Reader, end users can easily view, annotate, access coordinate information.

The History of ERDAS

ERDAS announced today that LPS 9.3 is now available for download.  Please read Ryan's list of the new functionality therein...I also came across this pretty interesting YouTube video on the history of ERDAS.  Thanks Brad...

UPDATE: Once again, a YouTube video has caused Internet Explorer to crash and once again I have to replace it with a link to the page on their site.  Click here to see it...

ERDAS Image Web Server

Do you own large amounts of raster data? The ERDAS Image Web Server is a COTS solution that easily allows your organization to quickly integrate raster data in to your GIS. ESRI has a similar solution in the ArcGIS Image Server but wouldn't it be more adventageous to manage your raster data through a product whos main focus is the speedy delivery of large volumes of raster data? There are pros and cons to both products I'm sure...for example, both applications provide a way to extend the core functionality. ESRI gives you an API (more than likely through ArcObject programming) while ERDAS gives you the Image Integration Framework. I would be really interested to see a side by side comparison for both!!! NOTE: Leica (now ERDAS) acquired ERMapper last year.
