GeoPDF® Composer, formerly known as TerraGo Composer, is part of a suite of three toolbars that allow you to create and interact with GeoRegistered PDF files.

GeoPDF Toolbars

GeoPDF Toolbar and GeoMark Toolbar

The GeoPDF Toolbar and GeoMark Toolbar are free plug-ins for Adobe Reader that allow you to access, update, and share GeoPDF maps and imagery, as well as to work with GeoMarks on your map.

Composer Toolbar

GeoRegister

The GeoRegister tool allows you to create a relationship between a real-world coordinate system and an area on a 2D or 3D PDF file. It also allows you to specify the version of the GeoPDF GeoPDF Toolbar with which the GeoPDF file should be compatible. GeoPDF Composer must be properly licensed to GeoRegister a 3D PDF page.

GeoMark Enable

The GeoMark Enable tool allows you to enable a GeoPDF file for GeoMarks in Adobe Reader. Your end users can import data into and export and delete data from the GeoPDF file. When you save a geospatially-aware PDF file it becomes a GeoPDF file.

Map Assembler

The Map Assembler tool allows you to assemble a new map by drawing a polygon on an index map and from the included area, extract the map tiles to be included in the map. The tool also allows you to browse to existing GeoPDF files or geospatially-aware PDF files and select the files to be assembled into a new map. Each file that you select is its own separate layer in the new map.

Batch GeoRegistration

The Batch GeoRegistration tool allows you to GeoRegister multiple PDF files in a batch process via a GeoPDF template file created using the GeoRegister tool.

MapBook Creation

The MapBook Creation tool allows you to create a TerraGo MapBook from GeoRegistered PDF files and a GeoPDF index map or from a map series file and a GeoPDF index map. The MapBook creation process also allows you to replace existing files and add new files to an existing MapBook.

3D GeoPDF Creator

The 3D GeoPDF Creator tool enables the creation of 3D content for incorporation into GeoPDF documents. The tool can create 3D GeoPDF documents or Universal 3D (U3D) models which can be placed into arbitrary locations in PDF documents with Adobe Acrobat.

File Creator input includes

• elevation data such as digital terrain

• TIF files

• LIDAR point clouds (LAS) and imagery (GeoTIFF, MrSID)

Model creation options allow for downsampling of the elevation and imagery and denoising of the imagery for more compact storage in the 3D model.

Export to TerraGo Edge

The Export to TerraGo Edge tool allows the user to export the selected map frame to Edge Notebooks and MBTiles tile caches.
