MAP2PDF allows GIS professionals to publish and distribute maps and geo-collaborate with colleagues or with the public with no need for the recipients of the GeoPDF to have any knowledge of GIS. User permissions can be set for only view capability or to enable annotations, markup/redlines, and symbol creation that are stored in the GeoPDF and can be exported as small shapefiles with metadata back into ArcGIS. All active layers and attributes in ArcGIS become available on the GeoPDF allowing query and access to the associated tables. All of the expense falls on the map author, who will need MAP2PDF to export the GeoPDF from ArcGIS and if the author wants to enable the user to make entries the MAP2PDF Bundle and Adobe Professional. The software the end users needs is free and available by download – Adobe Reader and GeoPDF Tools.
