Erdas announces the release of Map2PDF for Imagine, a new product combining TerraGo Technologies’ Map2PDF (now called Publisher) with the power of Erdas Imagine, the collection of software tools designed to manipulate, process and understand imagery and vector data.
With Map2PDF for Imagine, customers 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. This unique software solution includes high quality image tools to create robust GeoPDF maps and images that can be used in Adobe Reader with the TerraGo Desktop application, formerly known as the GeoPDF Toolbar (a free, small-footprint plug-in).
This module extends TerraGo Technologies’ file format support, providing access to the 135 formats that Erdas Imagine supports. Users can easily convert files, creating a PDF as an export function. The Map2PDF module can handle projects of any size; with the ability to batch-convert thousands of images or entire databases to GeoPDF images. In Adobe Reader, end users can easily view, annotate, access coordinate information.
Additionally, users can also create cartographic, quality map compositions and export these to GeoPDF. Utilizing Erdas Imagine’s Map Series tools, users can access standard templates or customize templates to create GeoPDFs of image map compositions in bulk form.
