Support QGIS GeoPDF format
See original GitHub issueI downloaded a PDF from caltropo, opened it in TS and it worked perfectly, great!
However in my test file I generated with QGIS, using the following settings:
When I open it in TS it asks me to calibrate the file, so it seems parsing of the geopdf data is failing in some way.
I opened up the caltopo file in notepad++ and found the /GPTS line all nicely formatted:
8 0 obj
<<
/Type /Measure
/Subtype /GEO
/Bounds [0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1]
/LPTS [0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1]
/GPTS [45.057804 -75.91218 45.11057 -75.91218 45.11057 -75.851585 45.057804 -75.851585]
/GCS 22 0 R
/DCS 23 0 R
>>
endobj
However mine from QGIS has all this on one line:
6 0 obj
<< /GCS 7 0 R /GPTS [ 45.0780799698456534 -75.8550046364233737 45.0780799698456534 -75.8418074947041276 45.073006918482065 -75.8418074947041276 45.073006918482065 -75.8550046364233737 ] /LPTS [ 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 ] /Subtype /GEO /Type /Measure >>
endobj
I took a look at your commit: https://github.com/kylecorry31/Trail-Sense/commit/53d7a63ba048a4f85ee435118ab72f6294eff71d#diff-4dc068e24ecb002befa7409a57987ed88a5c89e53fb1f26cfab4cd1ceae83e56R55
And I believe your regex in the linked commit is too greedy, so it pulls in those /LPTS whatever those happen to be:
However I butchered my pdf file a bunch attempting to get the /GPTS, /BBox, and /MediaBox lines to look similar to the caltropo one, and still couldn’t get TS to import the map. It shows the map correctly but it always asks to calibrate it.
Anyways, I’ve attached the pdf file here for you to try, I don’t quite see the issue. The pdf doesn’t seem to have an actual raster map (not sure why, next thing for me to debug in QGIS!) but it still has all the geo info in it.

Support for this will be added in 3.9.0. @eresonance I verified it auto-calibrates when I import the test_orig.pdf you uploaded (and I also tested with my own QGIS map) - thanks for providing that!
Okay, thanks for the details - it looks like there are some unexpected nested << >> sections around the “Mediabox” - I’ll have to support that as well.
I’ll experiment with this during my next development cycle to see if I can get it to work on the PDF you provided.
Hope you enjoy your camping trip!
