Key Features

ArcReader is a free and easy-to-use application that allows users to view and print maps that are published as Published Map Files (PMF) by the ArcGIS Publisher extension to ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo. PMF files preserve a live connection to the data, so the user's data view is always dynamic.

ArcReader significantly increases access to maps throughout all parts of an organization, introducing a new way for individuals and enterprises to share information that was once limited to those with advanced GIS software on their computers.

The key capabilities of ArcReader are

Zooming in/out
Panning
Going to previous/next extent
Viewing spatial bookmarks
Viewing and printing previously authored map layouts
Searching with the Find tool
Identifying features
Using the hyperlink tool
Measuring features
