ArcReader does not have the selection toolset so won’t be able to do analysis of any kind including buffering, at least within the generic offering.  Are not able to use maplex labeling within ArcReader (at least historically).

 

If you are just looking to share maps and can get by with simplified toolsets (identify, search) then it can be a good tool.  You hit the limits very quickly but it is better than a PDF since the layout is linked to the data frame and folks are getting used to the design and feel of ArcGIS.

I’ve been exploring ArcReader and acquired a 60 day, trial license of Publisher to make the PMF files.  http://www.esri.com/software/arcgis/extensions/publisher/evaluate

 

ArcReader 10.3 does show maps with the proper symbology and it has basic tools like identify, measure, pan/zoom and markup.  But there’s no table view or query beyond the ultra-basic Find function.  So it really doesn’t have much use in my organization for analytical purposes.

Subject: Anyone using Publisher and ArcReader?

 

Good Morning,

I was wondering if anyone is using the Publisher extension for ArcGIS Desktop to create maps for use in ArcReader.  What are pros and cons you have noticed?  I am exploring ideas for creating solutions for sharing maps within and outside of my organization.  What are the benefits of using ArcReader as opposed to exporting your map as a .PDF?  From what I’ve read, a .PDF is a static snapshot while the .PMF file changes dynamically if you change the parent map project. Also, if anyone has a .PMF file they could share with me to open in ArcReader I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thank you for your time and have a great day! ~Paula
