We have already discussed how to use
Adobe
Acrobat Reader for geographic data visualization ( How
to create a Geographic PDF file with
ArcGis ). Since the new version of this
software
has
provided
some
major changes , here is a new article devoted to the use of Adobe
Acrobat Reader DC.
You can download
this
version using the following link https://get.adobe.com/fr/reader/
Now, we will discuss how to run in Adobe
Acrobat Reader DC a PDF document created with ArcMap (version 10.3.1)
Open the document:
[ caption id =“attachment_2722″ align = ” aligncenter ” width =
“630”]
Screen of
the geographical PDF document with Adobe Acrobat Reader DC
[ / caption]
Firstly, we will remove the right side tools panel,
clicking
on the menu View -> Show /
hide -> Panel Tools
“attachment_2723″ align = ” aligncenter ” width =
“630”]
Disabling
the panel Tools display [ / caption]
To navigate the different available
geographical data displays, we will use the standard tools: selection, shift,
zoom
“attachment_2724″ align = ” aligncenter ” width =
“630”]
Standard
navigation tools [ / caption]
But, mostly, the browser layers
located in the left side of the window:
Page Thumbnail layer
The first one is the page Thumbnail
layer:
It allows you to choose the page
to be displayed , but, also, to position
the zoom window in the current page .
Click the Thumbnails icon to
display the thumbnails layer:
Increase
the zoom to display only
a
part
of the page. You will get
the display window on the thumbnail:
By clicking on the hand located
in
the lower right corner of the display window of
the thumbnail, you can change the size of the main
window display .
By clicking-moving the thumbnail
window display, you move the main
window display.
These tools allow
you to perform the same operations
as the standard tools zoom and move but in
a graphic mode .
