1 ARMY GEOSPATIAL PORTABLE DOCUMENT FORMAT (GEOPDF) PROGRAM & the TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS tool Ray Caputo Geographer US Army Geospatial Center July 2011 Winner: 2006 Director s Award - TEC 2008 Achievement Award / Military USGIF 2010 SRP Outstanding Presentation at TSS Workshop Finalist: 2009 Public Sector Max Award - Adobe US Army Corps of Engineers 1 Unclassified

2 GeoPDF Overview Provides a standard format for use and exchange of GIS documents with non-gis users and allows them to leverage valuable geospatial assets A stand alone file; no web or data links; image, text, fonts, graphics, customer data, GIS data and metadata are all contained in one file Leverages free Adobe Reader (ISO standard) multiple languages with has an intuitive interface - no training required Free TerraGo Toolbar plug-in Significantly smaller data files than traditional GIS formats (COTS or MILSPEC) Complies with ISO and is Best Practice - Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) What does a GeoPDF do With Adobe Reader: Multiple coordinate displays Capture coordinates and go out to Google Maps and compare Measure area / length with Reader GPS Tracking Importing/exporting geospatial data With Adobe Acrobat: All above plus - Create GeoPDF manually GeoMark Enable files for extended use in Reader Map Assembler [combining multiple files] 2

3 ...there are about 1 million users of GIS software. There are about 6 billion people. So there are billion other people who don t like using GIS software. We built something for them. Michael Jones, Google Earth - Chief Technology Office Geospatial Solutions May 2006 I want to take what NGA has done for the user and put that power directly in their hands on a mobile device or the means of their choosing. Letitia Long, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) - Director GEOINT

4 Software Products for Acrobat converts: GeoTIFF, MrSID, NITF, IMG, CIB, ADRG and CADRG into GeoPDF TerraGo Publisher for ArcGIS also views/imports GeoPDF [view only is free to the DoD see AGC websites for downloading] The DoD s TalonView & FalconView views/writes GeoPDFs. 4

5 GeoPDF production AGC has had its hand in - NGA most Aero / Topo maps (33,000+) AGC packaged up maps by country with Index Map; distributes via DVD & websites, NGA has begun production, maintenance and distribution [via DLA] -USGS all Digital Raster Graphics [60,000] into GeoPDF. Posted with new U.S. Topo million downloads AGC will produce USGS State datasets with Index Map distributed on DVD by USGS and posted on AGC websites - Army Geospatial Engineering Teams, EUCOM & PACOM Theater Geospatial Databases have GeoPDF creation tools AGC s Inland Electronic Navigation Chart Data Team to publish all chart data [~7800 miles of navigable waterways in the USA] in GeoPDF -AGC creating Urban Tactical Planners (UTP), Engineering Route Studies (ERS), Urban Water Graphics (UWG), Buckeye Map Book (BMB), Cultural Maps, Historical Photo Analysis (HPA) reports & Country/Area Overviews as GeoPDF AGC Library converting holdings [non-nga] products & atlases into GeoPDF -AGC production of 3D GeoPDF files in-house and via contract from all sources of maps & imagery and elevation data 5

6 Other NGA: National System for Geospatial Intelligence Instruction SC 2101 [generation of geo-..referenced PDF files from standard GEOINT Products] Geospatial Intelligence Baseline for Contingency Operations [GIBGO], Iraq &..Afghanistan Atlases, Olympics support, Enterprise Product on Demand Services..(ePODS) deployed support create GeoPDFs Research Center converting holdings of non-nga maps into GeoPDFs. Co-production partners Canada, UK, South Korea, Australia, NZ, Germany,..France using or soon to use GeoPDF Army Sustainable Range Program creates Military Installation Maps as GeoPDF Intel Community: Windows Mobile software using GeoPDF Memento a free to US Government seamless viewing tool for GeoPDF Voyager GIS [a web style search tool] reads GeoPDF 6

7 GeoPDF feedback "So far the DVDs with the map data from TEC has been a huge success... Folks who don't have access to much data are extremely appreciative when they get something..." CW3 Chris Wise I love the GeoPDF! MAJ Kevin R. Golinghorst The GeoPDF's you sent provided us with the following: - Instant access to much needed..mapping data - Ability to send data over secure..net to Commanders - MGRS capability - Delivered media (PDF's) - Size of data (less is better) - Ease of use - Clear, viewable LTC Andrew Ratzlaff I think it's a kick azz product... Probably the best product out there for my use... Ed Besecky NGA/OIP This is great stuff! MAJ Ed Chamberlayne The CDs you sent were fantastic MAJ Derek Gaudlitz Wohooo! Chitra Sivanandam In-Q-Tel We love the geopdf format. It s been very popular among our users here in Korea. Doug Ridenour MAJ, EN The GeoPDF tool for the reader has proven invaluable WO1 Jose E. Maldonado We will be encouraging the VHPA members to share memories with others whom served with them. I believe the maps are the very best vehicle for doing that. Ron Bower Vietnam Helicopter Pilot Association Memory Map Project a tremendous asset to my operations CPT Rob Kimmel guys here in the field love the GeoPDFs MAJ Samuel Hagadorn "...literal lifesaver... has revolutionized the way we do business. We get more workable products out to the warfighter 1LT Steven Cowan...used the geopdf country dvds as mini-dlas and printed the sheets all the time!!!!! The country dvds are geospatial heroes of the war!!!!! Rich Simpson NGA I'm not a GIS professional; I'm an artilleryman. Recently, I discovered the GeoPDF files.. and thoroughly enjoy them. They make maps easy! Thomas R. Powers Major I just can't get enough of your GeoPDF program. It is fantastic. 2LT Christopher Shull we have some useful maps now to use. R Vance Butts, SGT SC State Guard GeoPDF is the way of the future Juan Carlos Isidore Arevalo III Air Force Combat Office the map depot was closed we were able to quickly rely on our GeoPDF DVD and crank out the copies of the map sheets we needed in less than an hour. Captain Nils French PEng. Canada 7 That's a pretty awesome product. SGT Joseph The CD with maps on it that you gave me is very, very impressive!!!! MG Randal Castro data will be of real help Richard E. A. Ipri Map Librarian USMA (West Point) these DVDs will be very helpful Douglas R Fulton...a huge success and has gone over very well Ronald L. Bahl CPT It has truly transformed CET operations. MAJ Rod Fischer

14 Viewing a GeoPDF within ArcMap Individual layers within each map frame may be toggled on and off, zoom level may be assigned and annotations may / may not be displayed. Right-click the layer in the table of contents Properties GeoPDF tab 14

15 Used when a TerraGo GeoPDF is imported with GeoMarks inside of it. Useful when end user doesn t know how to or doesn t want to export GeoMarks only Using a TerraGo GeoMark Toolbar generated shapefile in ArcGIS 15

16 How to obtain GeoPDFs On DVD: Via the Web: Unclassified PKI web site (CAC card and reader needed): SIPRNET JWICS Via Common Map Background online: Unclassified PKI web site (CAC card and reader needed): Via Imagery Office s online Data Doors application: 16
