A little while back we released version 7.15 of Quick PDF Library, which included an exciting new feature: support for creating and manipulating GeoPDF dictionaries.

For anyone who hasn’t come across the published GeoPDF extension to PDF before, it is used to present GIS and mapping data in a standard PDF.

The new GeoPDF related functions in Quick PDF Library are:

• AddLGIDictToPage
• GetPageLGIDictCount
• GetPageLGIDictContent
• DeletePageLGIDict

For some examples of GeoPDF enabled PDFs, check out the GeoPDF gallery.
