PDF guide for land surveyors and geo-information specialists

2 min read·21 August 2026

Land surveyors process field survey reports, site drawings, cadastral extracts, and measurement compensation reports. Accurate PDF handling is essential for transfer to the land registry, municipality, and client.

Combining site drawings and survey reports

After a field survey, the site drawing (DXF/DWG export), field notebook, and survey report are merged into one delivery dossier. Export the CAD drawing as PDF, add bookmarks per drawing sheet, and combine with the field report in the sequence required by the land registry for project documentation.

Compressing map drawings for the municipal portal

High-resolution site drawings are large files that exceed the upload limit of municipal planning portals. Compress the PDF while preserving text legibility of dimension labels and legends. Use lossless compression for line drawings to prevent loss of precision.

Adding cadastral extracts to parcel dossiers

The parcel dossier for a notary or property advisor contains the cadastral extract, site sketch, ownership information, and encumbrances. Merge the documents in the legally required sequence and secure the dossier with a read password for external parties.

Deformation measurements as time-series reports

When monitoring infrastructure (dikes, basements, foundations), periodic deformation measurements are combined in a time-series report. Merge measurement periods in chronological order. Add a summary page with the maximum measured deformations per measurement point.

Restitution report QR code on boundary marker

After boundary restitution, a restitution report is prepared referring to the physically placed boundary markers. Insert a QR code in the restitution report linking to the digital version in the cadastral information system. This digitally links every boundary marker to the corresponding proof of restitution.
