/*
 * Starter for georeferenced PDF:
 * Import an image with a map and add geospatial reference information
 *
 * Sample map and coordinates:
 * We use a map from www.openstreetmap.com; the geospatial coordinates of the
 * image edges were also provided by that Web site.
 * The coordinate system is WGS84 which is also used for GPS.
 *
 * Required software: PDFlib/PDFlib+PDI/PPS 10
 * Required data: image file and associated geospatial reference information
