I have the terrago extension and I like the additional functionality it provides but I don't seem to find a way to use python to export using the TerraGo geopdf format. Within the Arcpy functions I can use ExporToPDF and I can keep georefernce and values but it is not a true TerraGo geopdf. Is there a way to use terrago functionaly in python?

Thanks,

Correct Answer

Not that I'm aware. Arcpy.mapping has a function called ExportToPDF that can generate geo PDFs.

Yes, I've been using Export to PDF and I like it but I have noticed that the pdf files for the same maps exported using TerraGo are smaller and TerraGo also has some additional functionalities that don't work on pdfs exported using ExportToPDF. The two export options are implementing the GeoPDF specification slighly differently. When I gave my maps to some users they tried to use the TerraGO toolbar in Acrobat and their comment was "this is not a true Geopdf". It would be nice if the TerraGo option was available in Arcpy. Do you think it may be available using ArcObjects?
