ArcReader is a basic data viewer for maps and GIS data published in the proprietary Esri format using ArcPublisher. The software also provides some basic tools for map viewing, printing and querying of spatial data. ArcReader is included with any of the ArcGIS suite of products, and is also available for free to download.
It is available for recent versions of Windows, Linux (Red Hat, SUSE), and Solaris (operating system).
Among the 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
ArcReader uses a Published Map File (PMF) format. To view Esri map documents (MXD) or ArcGlobe documents (3DD), one must use ArcGIS Publisher, an extension to ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo that converts these files to PMF for use with ArcReader. ArcReader cannot create or modify the published maps; you must use ArcGIS Publisher to create or edit a PMF map.
ArcReader can only read data through a PMF. The PMF supports access to all standard vector and raster formats supported by ArcGIS. The PMF does not include the data. Rather, the PMF references the data whether it is on a local drive, a shared network drive, or an Internet service.[1]
