How to overrule GeoPDF coordinatesytems

Hi @meijer​ 

Unfortunately, the documentation notes that:

For content objects within a geospatial map frame, the reader will produce features with geospatial coordinates and coordinate system. If no map frames exists, or if a content object is not within any map frame, then features will be produced with coordinate in page points.

It seems like the features were not written within a map frame if you are getting features in page points when read in FME. You could try using a CoordinateSystemSetter, then offsetting/scaling if you know the area where the features are located but your coordinates will very likely not be in the correct location.

Hi Debbi,

Thank you for your answer. I added the coordinate system that I can read from the geoPDF.

It seems that there is a map extent, but one that FME cannot read/recognize. (I guess the datum is unknown?)

It is good to know that QGIS can read the PDF without any problems
