Hi,

I'm pleased to announce the first public release of PDFMap, a command line
tool and Python library to help people create high quality maps in PDF
format with clickable objects on them. It was made to create
archaeological maps for some caves but you can do other things as well :
look at the example to learn more. 

This software is licensed under the GNU GPL and intensively uses the
ReportLab package (version 1.11 or higher). 

You can download it from :

	http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfmap/

The public area available directly from  

	http://pdfmap.sourceforge.net

still needs a lot of work, but contains an example of a pdf map and a
screenshot. 

The sample dataset and raster map was generously given to this project by
Intevation GmbH (http://www.intevation.de)

After having extracted the tarball, please read the README and
tests/README to learn how to use this software and produce your 
own maps.

You can subscribe to pdfmap's mailing list from :

	http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/pdfmap-users/

Any comment or helps is appreciated.
