GeoPDF Gallery
Welcome to the new TerraGo GeoPDF Gallery. TerraGo invented the GeoPDF nearly five years ago, and nearly 1,000 organizations are now using TerraGo GeoPDFs to provide easy access and geospatial collaboration capabilities to non-GIS savvy users. We’ve highlighted a few of the more interesting GeoPDFs here. Check back with us as we are constantly updating this with new files. If you would like to show off your great work with GeoPDFs, please contact us and we’ll get it posted right away.

GeoPDF of the Sept 2010 Boulder FireGeoPDF of the Sept 2010 Boulder Fire
Using imagery captured on Sept. 7, 2010 by DigitalGlobe’s QuickBird satellite, TerraGo created this GeoPDF image. The image captured by DigitalGlobe is a pan-sharpened false color composite. The false color band combination shows healthy vegetation as bright red and allows for greater visualization of the burn area.
Using TerraGo Publisher for Raster, the original image was reduced from 240Mb to 7Mb for easy distribution online, via email, or by other means. By downloading TerraGo Toolbar, you can use this image to perform geospatial functions such as:
Access Geo- Use while connected to a network or when offline in the field, even on a smartphone or handheld mobile device
- Reference up to three geographic coordinate systems
- Measure length and area
- Switch to Google Maps view when online
Capture Geo
- Capture field observations as georeferenced points, lines, polygons, and stamps
- Embed georeferenced multimedia such as comments, images, video, audio, and hyperlinks
Collaborate with Geo
- Share on-the-ground intelligence and collaborate with peers in the field by simply exporting and importing shapefile, kml, or TerraGo collaboration formats from GeoPDF
- Roundtrip field information such as georeferenced notes and multimedia files back to GIS and other enterprise systems

City of Los Angeles Medical Marijuana MapCity of Los Angeles Medical Marijuana Map
This application involves the placement of Medical Marijuana Collectives in the City of Los Angeles. The maps produced for this project allowed the City Council to visually see the impacts of numerous sensitive and other uses as they relate to available areas for location of the businesses. The Project was submitted to the Local chapter APA and won an award for technical innovation.
Numerous maps related to the project are located here on the City of Los Angeles Web site. These examples will demonstrate the way layering was used to aid City Council in their determination of a responsible way to determine site location.

US CapitalUS Capital
This image of the US Capital provided by GeoEye allows consumers of the GeoPDF to measure and markup the image with additional information. This GeoPDF was created using the static RGB option in TerraGo Publisher for Raster; therefore, the band combinations used for display cannot be changed in this GeoPDF map, but the file size of the final product has been reduced. If file size is a concern, Publisher for Raster provides a number of options for controlling and optimizing the production of your GeoPDF map.
