GeoPDF Leeds to Better School Place Planning
08 April 2008, 2:04pm
The organisation which runs Leeds’ frontline education services has recently purchased Map2PDF from london-based agency Quarry One Eleven.
Education Leeds – a not-for-profit company wholly owned by Leeds City Council - plans the efficient and effective supply of school provision in the city, and in the course of this work uses a large amount of GIS data.
The Map2PDF software allows both ESRI and Intergraph users to write GIS data to the GeoPDF format. Since Adobe’s PDF reader is pre-loaded onto so many computers, GeoPDF files allow anyone, irrespective of knowledge or experience of spatial data, to view and update this valuable information in a format they know and understand.
Education Leeds can now provide GIS information to the public, colleagues at Education Leeds and GI experts, knowing that all levels of user will be confident to open and view the files.
Chris Edwards, chief executive of Education Leeds, said:
“We’re committed to planning a school network which meets the needs of this and future generations of children and young people in Leeds.
“This programme allows us to analyse all kinds of spatial data, using familiar software, and should help us to achieve even better analysis of pupil and demographic changes over time.”
