GDAL Missing PDF Support (at least when installed as dependency for QGIS3) — at Initial Version

Reported by: mhanmore Owned by:

Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc:
Port: gdal qgis3

Description

The issue The GDAL build via MacPorts as part of qgis3 installation currently lacks support for PDF files, which means qgis3 behaves as though PDF files don't exist.

Expected behavior GDAL should be built with poppler to enable PDF support. I was able to fix the problem with sudo port install poppler followed by sudo port install gdal +pdf +poppler

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install GDAL as a qgis3 dependency via MacPorts using sudo port install qgis3.
  2. Attempt to open or georeceference a PDF in Qgis3
  3. Run gdalinfo --formats | grep -i pdf.
  4. Observe that PDF support is not listed.

System Information

  • OS: macOS: Sonoma on M3 Max
  • GDAL Versions: Broken: gdal @3.9.0_0+postgresql16+proj9 Fixed: gdal @3.9.0_0+poppler+postgresql16+proj9
