Georeferenced PDFs

In July 2008, the folks at ESRI released a small patch for ArcGIS Desktop. This "Map Export Patch" allows you to take a Shape file and cram most of the functionality into a PDF.
This isn't just a static map; the user can easily look at all the attribute data that is usually hidden behind the identify tool in ArcGIS, all with the basic Adobe Reader program.



There are many more helpful videos over at ESRI's Youtube channel: esritv

This is fantastic Jesse! Did you install the patch and try it out? It works great. Thanks for bringing us up to date with geoPDFs.
