GeoDesign Internacional announced that it has signed a reseller agreement with TerraGo Technologies, Inc., Atlanta, Georgia, USA, to resell the MAP2PDF products in Brazil.

MAP2PDF is a family of solutions customers use to create GeoPDF files, the PDF-based geospatial distribution and collaboration format pioneered by TerraGo Technologies.

MAP2PDF leverages the ubiquitous Adobe portable document formatting standard to allow customers to convert maps from popular geographic information systems into user friendly GeoPDF files that can be widely distributed and used by virtually anyone with access to Adobe Reader.

GeoPDF makes complex geospatial data readily available and easy to use in an interface most people are already familiar with and working with maps is easy.  Geospatial professionals simply create a map using their GIS application and use the MAP2PDF version of their choice to export the data to a GeoPDF file.

Once users receive files, they are able to view them and use a variety of mapping functions as well as Adobe features to query attributes, create redlines and notes and even attach files or images.  Updates can be incorporated back into the GIS so that everyone benefits from the most accurate information available.

GeoPDF files can be emailed, posted to the Internet or distributed on CD for easy viewing with Adobe Reader.  MAP2PDF includes advanced security options such as 128-bit encryption and public-private key encryption ensuring that only the people who need to know have access to mapping data.

MAP2PDF Features:
– Automatic embedding of projection coordinate systems within the PDF
– Maintains layers within maps
– Maintains attribute data as object data
– Operates in batch mode for mass production
– Web-enabled
– Allows users to print maps to any desktop printer
