[Untitled][edit]

There were some misconceptions promulgated in the previous definition that I've clarified (or hope that I have) with some new verbiage:

The term geospatial PDF is too broad to be applied only a particular geospatial encoding. It's been used generically since at least 2002, and has been specifically used since 2008 to mean simply "PDF with any georeferencing payload".
There are two georeferencing techniques used today: an OGC best practice and Adobe's geospatial extension; a PDF file with either is rightfully considered a geospatial PDF as it's commonly used today.
Both techniques are open, published specifications. Neither is a standard with the imprimatur of a standards organization.
GeoPDF is not a format, it is a trademark used to brand geospatial PDF products created by TerraGo software.
GeoPDF uses geospatial PDF as a container; all GeoPDF is geospatial PDF, but not all geospatial PDF is GeoPDF. GeoPDF products can use either the OGC BP or Adobe's encoding -- encoding has nothing to do with "GeoPDFness".
Many of the features described in the original posting were not developed with geospatial in mind -- they are just PDF features that have convenient application in geospatial contexts.

Hope this helps!
