Map2PDF for Socet GXP software module used to create GeoPDFs is available at BAE Systems.
The TerraGo Map2PDF for Socet GXP will allow for anyone with access to Adobe reader to view, mark up, or configure geographic attributes (GeoMarks) contained in the image or map from a desktop computer. The PDF document maintains predominant features and coordinates, yet compresses the file to a size suitable for transmission via e-mail, portable drive or shared network, said TerraGo.
Dan London, vice president of geospatial eXploitation products at BAE Systems, said: One of the biggest challenges our industry faces is the ability to efficiently provide access to critical geospatial information among non-GIS users in the field, where receiving data files can be difficult. By providing a means to create GeoPDFs that can then be used for advanced collaboration in the field with virtually anyone, we are helping customers to extend the use and utility of their Socet GXP investment.
Rick Cobb, president and CEO of TerraGo Technologies, said: We are pleased to join forces with BAE Systems as one of the recognized leaders in image and geospatial analysis software. Many of our joint defense and intelligence customers will now be able to more seamlessly share their geospatial assets with users in the field, regardless of their physical location and technology constraints.
