MAP2PDF is available in several versions including MAP2PDF for ArcGIS® - MAP2PDF for ArcGIS allows users of ESRI ArcGIS to create intelligent georegistered PDF maps and it also automatically embeds the projection coordinate systems, graphical layers and feature class attribute data and then exports to a GeoPDF. Not an ArcGIS user? No worries as several other "flavors" are available including MAP2PDF for Reader, Acrobat, GeoMedia, GCS, and GeoTIFF. Using the free Adobe Reader plugin users can toggle on/off layers, reproject, display coordinates, and more.
Some facts about Maps2PDF:
Integrates with existing GIS infrastructure
Automatic embedding of projection and datum coordinate systems within the PDF
Allows display of coordinates in alternate projections and datums
Displays point, line and area attributes of map feature class data with search and query capabilities
Displays map coordinates in three different coordinate systems
Allows for zoom to points and objects by coordinates
Supports GPS integration
Replicates GIS system layers with a layered GeoPDF file
Allows for measuring of distance, azmith and bearing in the most common units
Allows users to print maps to any desktop printer
You need the FREE Adobe Reader 6 or 7 to view GeoPDF files
Users can easily send their comments and/or other markups to other users.
MAP2PDF for ArcGIS allows for measuring of distance and bearing
MAP2PDF for ArcGIS is only available for ArcGIS version 9.x and above
If you do not have a fully registered version of MAP2PDF for ArcGIS, the output GeoPDF contains a watermark across the map
For more information about MAP2PDF users have access to free demo downloads, and interactive tutorials. Finally, users wanting to share their data with others can take advantage of the company's GeoPDF solution - simply create a map, use MAP2PDF to export the data to a GeoPDF. You can then distribute GeoPDF’s to non-GIS users who use Adobe Reader® ... nice!
