Background:

TerraGo Technologies, Inc. is the creator/developer of the Geospatial PDF file (GeoPDF) and the only software provider to produce and manipulate GeoPDFs. AGC creates, manages and disseminates geospatial data - geographic, topographic, geologic, cultural and other physical science information and data - accurately referenced to a precise location on the earth's surface. AGC uses TerraGo software to convert NGA maps, AGC products and maps produced by other organizations into the GeoPDF format. This format allows the warfighter to easily use, view, and share a map because of its small file sizes and because it can be read by any non-GIS users [Soldier, Marine, Sailor or Airman] who can read the Adobe PDF format as Adobe Reader is standard on all DoD computers and allows them to leverage the valuable geospatial assets within. Besides the small file size, easy readability, coordinates displayed, the creation of ESRI’s shapefiles & Google’s Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files from within Reader, search/view attribute data, connect a Global Positioning System [GPS], take measurements [area and length] and Google Map a location. The TerraGo software has been in use here at AGC, the Army, the DoD and US Gov’t since late 2005 and has demonstrated the proven ability to create the GeoPDFs required by AGC and soldiers.
