Hi ,

I have geospatial pdf has coordinates

and I have shape file with other coordinates .

 

i have read the pdf file with reader geospatial pdf and i can see that it has many layers

and some data at pdf does not exist in my shape file and some exist

 

i would like to change coordinates of geospatial pdf to same coordinates as shape file .

How could I achieve that ?

 

the shape file consists of lines and polygons (Buildings) and points

some of buildings and lines ,i can find also at pdf file but in other coordinates .it locates far away of each other .

 

i have used pdf reader ,parameters coordinate page point and enable non spatial read meta data objects ,Map frames

The type coordinates of geospatial pdf is unknown for me .

which transformers could be useful to move geo pdf to same location of coordinates as shape file ?

 

i am thinking if there is any transformer to compare between shapes and find which polygon is exact as other then provide shape coordinates to pdf file

Hello @gogopotter90​, have you tried simply reading the PDF spatially and reprojecting? I think you should be able to read spatially if the PDF is tagged with the correct coordinate system (CS). See documentation: Spatial > Coordinate Units.

 

If reprojecting doesn't work initially, after reading spatially you can try using a CoordinateSystemExtractor/Setter to have FME try and determine the PDF CS. Otherwise, unfortunately, you may need to try and guess the most correct CS.

 

For comparing geometries between the two datasets, I strongly suggest the ChangeDetector transformer (Check Attrbites and Geometry)! Hope this helps, Kailin.
