GPS tags & PDF

[SEC of SSLS]

Good Morning Everyone,

I want to add geotags to PDFs.

The PDFs are generated from a database program which then generates a (vector graphic) PDF. Each descrete location can have it's own PDF, which might consist of one or more pages. We/I can currently attach the PDFs to a map location as a file link or with an association file, both of which lead to more files being created and to possible/highly probable busted paths when files are moved by the unintiated.

Geotagging the PDFs would embed the information within the file, making the files highly transportable, users can drag and drop the files into the mapping software and it is more difficult to mess up the files.

Is it possible to add the GPS tags to a PDF within the EXIF data set?

This can be done with XMP.  XMP supports GPS tags, and you can use ExifTool to write XMP to PDF.
