I have a PDF file from a previous application, can I convert it to a GeoJSON file to upload?

Generally, we would not expect existing PDF location plans (e.g., those purchased from ReQuestaPlan) to contain the necessary geospatial data needed to produce a GeoJSON file.

Therefore, we would advise that the boundary shown in the existing location plan is redrawn directly into our system.

Alternatively, you can bypass this step and simply upload the existing location plan as a supporting document.

We are aware that some location plan providers do offer such data as part of their products, so we would advise that you review your location plan purchase to see if this is the case.
