See, the quake was the website update for Adobe Acrobat 9 Extended!
…A friend once told me, “PDF is where data goes to die.” If that holds true, then geoPDF is where maps go to die…
Word on the street is that ArcGIS 9.3 will natively export to this new Acrobat format. Schweet.
The other neat thing that I’d like to point out is the Flash embed capability for Acrobat. Could the ArcGIS Server 9.3 Flex API be embedded in the PDF for dynamic mapping?
Just forget about workflow for a moment. Is it possible?
Ok, now think of the workflow. Could it have the potential to be another SharePoint-like pain in the butt?
Adobe = Upgrade (with the potential to Fail!)
ESRI = Upgrade!
TerraGo = Fail!
