••••• Tips on learning ArcGIS Publisher

Welcome to ESRI® ArcGIS® Publisher extension—a tool for publishing mapsdesigned in ArcMap™. Have you ever wanted to share an ArcMap mapdocument with others, only to find out that those you want to share the mapwith do not have ArcMap? ArcGIS Publisher can solve this problem byallowing you to publish and share maps with other people, even if they don’thave ArcMap. ArcGIS Publisher provides an environment for sharing anddistributing maps. ArcGIS Publisher converts ArcMap map documents intothe published map file (.pmf) format. These published maps can then beshared with other users who have the free ArcReader™ software.

This book shows you how to use ArcGIS Publisher to publish maps so thatyou can share your maps with other organizations or within your ownorganization. This chapter provides an introduction to ArcGIS Publisher.Refer to Chapter 2, ‘Quick-start tutorial’, to gain a quick understanding ofhow to use ArcGIS Publisher. Chapter 3, ‘ArcGIS Publisher basics’, outlineshow to use ArcGIS Publisher.

2 USING ARCGIS PUBLISHER

Sharing informationPublishing maps allows you to share your geographic information with other users as you see it in ArcMap.

Examples of maps created in ArcMap,published with ArcGIS Publisher.

WELCOME TO ARCGIS PUBLISHER 3

Viewing mapsSometimes just looking at a map will tell you what you want to know. Well-designed maps not only tell you where things are but alsowhat’s special about them. ArcGIS Publisher enables you to publish maps as they appear in ArcMap, with the same high-endcartographic symbols and map elements geographic information system (GIS) professionals are accustomed to.

Being able to share well-designed maps, such as these, greatly increasesthe maps’ value.


Exploring dataMaps are not static displays; they’re interactive. You can browse a map—taking a closer look at a particular area—and point at featuresto find out more about them.

You can identify features to see their attributes.


Printing mapsUse ArcGIS Publisher to publish maps and then use ArcReader to print the maps as you see them. You can choose to print the fulllayout as it was published or zoom to a location and just print that portion of the map.

These maps can all be printed once they are opened in ArcReader.


Publishing maps with ArcGIS PublisherYou can publish any ArcMap map document with ArcGIS Publisher. All of the map elements and symbology are saved, along withreferences to the data, in a .pmf file. Maps based on file, server, and Internet data can all be published. You can even deliver the datawith the published map. For more information about ArcGIS Publisher, see Chapter 2, ‘Quick-start tutorial’, and Chapter 3, ‘ArcGISPublisher basics’.

ARCGIS PUBLISHER BASICS 25

Preparing maps for publishing in ArcMap

When publishing a map it is important to consider the purpose ofthe map and how the map will be used in ArcReader. It is alsoimportant to recognize what is in the map and how ArcMapsettings, as well as Publisher settings, will affect how the outputis displayed.

Accessing data

ArcReader references data sources in the same manner thatArcMap does. The data source information in the map documentis also stored in the published map. Because ArcReader will beusing the same method of connecting to the data, it is importantto ensure that the ArcReader user will have access to the data.

In ArcMap, use the Map Properties dialog box and the Source tabon the Layer Properties dialog box to set data sources. You canalso click the Source tab on the table of contents to get a quicklook at the current data source connections for a map.

You need to choose the right data source connection method foryour published map. What connection method you use dependson how the map will be used. For a map that is going to bedistributed on a computer network, you should create the mapwith universal naming convention (UNC) data paths or networkserver-based data. If you plan to deliver the data with thepublished map (perhaps putting everything on digital media, suchas a CD), you should use relative paths to connect to the data.You may also want to consider using Internet-served data. If youdo this, anyone with a Geography NetworkSM connection will beable to use the map in ArcReader. You can also create a datapackage for the map. This is done with the Create Data Packagebutton on the Publisher toolbar. The published map and all of thedata necessary to display it in ArcReader are placed in a directorythat can be easily distributed to ArcReader users. However, thereare situations where you will need to package data manually. SeeDesktop Help for more information on these situations.

Delivering data with the map

The graphic above shows a directory structure in ArcCatalog™.The Gulf of St. Lawrence.pmf file references C:\ArcReader andPublisher\Data\Coasts.shp data. If you were to distribute datawith the published map, you would create the map using relativepaths. In this case the path would be ...\Data\Coasts.shp for thedata in the map. ArcMap will not show the path in this manner,but if you choose Store relative path names, this is the path thatwill be stored in the map. As long as the published map staysrelative to the data, the map layers will be accessible inArcReader. If you were to put the map and data on a CD, youwould place the Data directory and everything in it on disk.

The following tasks demonstrate how to store data sourceinformation in a map for sharing on a network.


Converting local drivepaths to UNC paths

1. Open ArcMap, click the AddData button, then click theAdd button to add data from alocal drive.

2. Right-click the layer in thetable of contents and clickProperties.

3. Click the Source tab and clickSet Data Source in the LayerProperties dialog box. u

Creating a mapto share on acomputernetworkIf you are using ArcSDE® orInternet-served data, thepublished map will work for allArcReader users who haveaccess to the servers. For file-based data you will need tocreate maps that store thelocation of the data on thenetwork. If you click a driveletter when you add data fromyour computer, a local path tothe data will be stored in themap. To make the map usableon another computer, you willwant to store the UNCpathname in the map.

4. Click the Connect To Folderbutton.

5. Double-click NetworkNeighborhood on theConnect to Folder dialog box,browse to the directory on thecomputer that contains thedata, then click OK.

6. Click Add in the Data Sourcedialog box to close it and getback to the Layer Propertiesdialog box.

In the Layer Properties dialogbox, you will now see that theUNC pathname is stored inthe map.

The UNC pathname will bepublished in the map, and allcomputers on the networkwith access to the directorywill be able to use the map inArcReader.

The UNCpathname

is stored inthe map.

Creating a mapto distribute withdataIf you plan to distribute datawith the map, you need to userelative paths when you createthe map. When using relativepaths, the map will be able toaccess the data as long as itstays in the same locationrelative to the data.

Creating a map withrelative path data

1. Open Windows Explorer andput all of the data that will beused to create the map intothe same folder.

2. Click the Add Data buttonand add your data to themap. u

Create a data package foryour mapsThe Create Data Package buttonon the Publisher toolbar can beused to create a data package. Adata package is a directory thatcontains the published map and allof the data necessary to use themap in ArcReader.


3. Click the File menu and clickMap Properties.

4. Click Data Source Options onthe Map Properties dialogbox.

5. Click Store relative pathnames in the Data SourceOptions dialog box, thenclick OK.

6. Click OK in the Propertiesdialog box.

7. Click the Publisher menu andclick Publish Map.

8. Publish or save the map in adirectory that has the sameparent directory as the datain the map. The data in themap will be referencedcorrectly as long as the mapand data stay in the samerelative location to oneanother. Send the wholedirectory to anyone who willbe using the map.

The Data Packaging dialog box allows you to choose an output locationfor the data package. The Vector and Raster tabs have options that allowyou to control the format and amount of data that is included in the datapackage.

Data Packaging button on thePublisher toolbar in ArcMap


Creating a datapackageA data package is a singledirectory that contains one ormany published maps and all ofthe data necessary to use themaps in ArcReader. A datapackage can be created bymanually copying all of the datato a single directory andbuilding the map in ArcMapusing relative paths. Alterna-tively, you can also use the datapackaging functionalityavailable in the ArcGIS Pub-lisher extension.

Create a data package forthe published map

1. Click Package Data forPublished Maps on thePublisher toolbar.

2. Choose one or more pub-lished maps to package.

Select multiple maps byholding down the Shift or Ctrlkey while clicking on themaps.

3. Click Open.

This opens the Data Packag-ing dialog box.

4. Click the Browse button andchoose an existing directoryto place the data andpublished map(s) in.

5. Click OK.

6. Click OK on the Data Packag-ing dialog box to packagethe map and data withdefault settings.

Tip

Creating a folder to holdthe data packageWindows 2000 and later has aMake New Folder button thatallows you to create a folder for thedata package during the datapackaging process. This option isnot available on Windows® NT andan existing folder needs to bechosen.

Removing layers that donot have data included inthe package

1. Click the Package tab.

2. Check Only include maplayers with features presentin the data frame extent.

This will remove layers in thepackaged map that do nothave data in the package.This can occur when theintersect option is used onthe Vector tab.

Increasing the size of thedata frame for use withintersect and clip

1. Click the Package tab.

2. Adjust the percentage of thedata frame to buffer.

You can increase the size ofthe data frame from 0 to 100percent. This is a percentageof the data frame diagonal.

Tip

Package tab OptionsRemoving layers without data andincreasing the size of the dataframe apply to both the Vector andRaster tabs. They also apply to alldata frames in the map.

Choosing a dataformat for thedata packageOn the Data Packaging dialogbox there are two tabs labeledVector and Raster. These tabshave options that allow you tochoose the packaged format forthe vector and raster data inyour published map.

For example, if your publishedmap references SDE® data itneeds to be converted to a file-based data type for packaging.This is done by choosing thefile-based format of your choiceon the Vector and Raster tabs.

Choosing a format forvector data


2. Choose Shapefile from theData Format pulldown menu.

All of the vector data in yourmap will be converted toshapefiles in the datapackage.

Choosing a format forraster data

1. Click the Raster tab.

2. Choose ERDAS® IMAGINE®

from the Data Formatpulldown menu.

All raster data in your mapwill be converted to ERDASIMAGINE files.

Tip

CAD data is always copiedCAD data referenced in thepublished map will always becopied into the data package.

Include only features thatintersect the dataframe(s) in the datapackage


2. Click Include Features thatintersect the data frame(s).

If any portion of the featureintersects the data frame, theentire feature will bepackaged.

Controlling theamount of datathat is packagedWhen packaging publishedmaps for distribution to othersthere are several things toconsider about the data. Whatdata type is being used in thecurrent map? How much of thedata is necessary to use themap? If distributing on CD willall of the data fit?

The Data Packager providesoptions that will allow you tocreate a data package that istailored to meet your needs.

Clipping rasters to theextent of the dataframe(s)


2. Click Clip the raster to thedata frame.

The raster will be clipped tothe data frame extent.

Tip

The data is intersected orclipped as it appears inlayout viewIn ArcMap, if you switch betweenData and Layout view, you willnotice that the amount of datadisplayed in the data frame varies.The data packager uses the dataframe as it appears in Layout viewfor intersecting and clipping.


Including all of the vectordata


2. Click Include all features inthe data set.

All of the features will bepackaged in the chosenformat.

or

3. Check Copy data into thepackage.

All of the vector data will becopied into the package.

Tip

ArcSDE data cannot becopiedIf Copy data into the data packagesetting is chosen, ArcSDE® data inthe map will be converted to aCompressed and Locked format.

Tip

Copying a personalgeodatabaseIf the map references one specificlayer in a personal geodatabase,the entire personal geodatabase iscopied into the data package.

12Glossary active data frameThe data frame you’re currently working with—for example, the one to which you are adding layers.The active data frame is shown in bold in the table of contents.

attributeA characteristic of a map feature. Attributes of a river might include its name, length, average depth,and so on.

attribute tableInformation about features on a map, stored in rows and columns. Each row relates to a singlefeature, while each column contains the values for a single characteristic.

data frameA frame on the map that displays layers occupying the same geographic area. You may have one ormore data frames on your map depending on how you want to organize your data. For instance,one data frame might highlight a study area, and another might provide an overview of where thestudy area is.

data sourceAny geographic data, such as a coverage, shapefile, raster, or geodatabase.

Data viewAn all-purpose view for exploring, displaying, and querying geographic data. This view hides allmap elements, such as titles, North arrows, and scalebars. See also Layout view.

display unitsThe units—for example, feet, miles, meters, or kilometers—ArcReader uses to report measurements,dimensions of shapes, and distance tolerances and offsets.

featureA representation of a real-world object in a layer on a map.


feature class1. A classification describing the format of geographic featuresand supporting data in a coverage. Coverage feature classes forrepresenting geographic features include point, arc, node,route system, route, section, polygon, and region. One or morecoverage features are used to model geographic features; forexample, arcs and nodes can be used to model linear features,such as street centerlines. The tic, annotation, link, and boundaryfeature classes provide supporting data for coverage datamanagement and viewing.

2. The conceptual representation of a geographic feature. Whenreferring to geographic features, feature classes include point,line, area, and surface. In a geodatabase, an object class thatstores features and has a field of type geometry.

fieldA column in a table. Each field contains the values for a singleattribute.

geodatabaseA geographic database that provides services for managinggeographic data. A geodatabase is hosted inside a relationaldatabase management system. A geodatabase contains featuredatasets.

graticuleA graphic representation on a map of the network of parallels andmeridians (latitude and longitude) that subdivide the earth’ssurface.

gridA geographic representation of the world as an array of equallysized square cells arranged in rows and columns. Each grid cell isreferenced by its geographic x,y location. See also raster.

group layerSeveral layers that appear and act like a single layer in the table ofcontents in ArcReader.

imageRepresents geographic features by dividing the world intodiscrete squares called cells. Examples include satellite and aerialphotographs, scanned documents, and building photographs. Seealso raster.

layerA collection of geographic features—such as rivers, lakes,counties, or cities—of a particular area or place for display on amap. A layer references geographic data stored in a data source,such as a coverage, and defines how to display it. You can createand manage layers as you would any other type of data in yourdatabase.

layoutThe design or arrangement of elements—such as geographicdata, North arrows, and scalebars—in a digital map display orprinted map.

Layout viewThe view for laying out your map. Layout view shows the virtualpage upon which you place and arrange geographic data and mapelements—such as titles, legends, and scalebars—for printing.See also Data view.

legendA list of symbols appearing on the map; includes a sample ofeach symbol and text describing which feature each symbolrepresents.

GLOSSARY 49

mapA graphical presentation of geographic information. It containsgeographic data along with other elements, such as a title, Northarrow, legend, and scalebar. You can interactively display andquery the geographic data on the map and also prepare aprintable map by arranging the map elements around the data in avisually pleasing manner.

map displayA graphic representation of the map on the computer screen.

map documentThe disk-based representation of a map. Map documents can beprinted or embedded into other documents. Map documents havea .mxd file extension.

map elementA graphic component, such as a scalebar, North arrow, and title,that helps describe the geographic data on the map.

Map TipsDisplays onscreen descriptions of map features when you pointto the feature.

map unitsThe units—for example, feet, miles, meters, or kilometers—inwhich the coordinates of spatial data are stored.

neatlineA border commonly drawn around geographic features, often toseparate them from other map elements.

North arrowA map element that shows how the map is oriented.

projectionA mathematical formula that transforms feature locations from theearth’s curved surface to a map’s flat surface. A projectedcoordinate system employs a projection to transform locationsexpressed as latitude and longitude values to x,y coordinates.Projections cause distortions in one or more of these spatialproperties: distance, area, shape, and direction.

rasterRepresents any data source that uses a grid structure to storegeographic information. See also grid and image.

scaleThe relationship between the dimensions of features on a mapand the geographic objects they represent on the earth, commonlyexpressed as a fraction or a ratio. A map scale of 1/100,000 or1:100,000 means that one unit of measure on the map equals100,000 of the same unit on the earth.

scalebarA map element that graphically shows a map’s scale.

shapefileA vector data storage format for storing the location, shape, andattributes of geographic features. A shapefile is stored in a folderand contains one feature class.

symbolA graphic representation of an individual feature or class offeatures that helps identify it and distinguish it from otherfeatures.

symbologyThe criteria used to determine symbols for the features in a layer.A characteristic of a feature may influence the size, color, andshape of the symbol used.


table of contentsLists all the layers on the map and shows what the features ineach layer represent.
