Extract and Compress a TPK file

DavidMorrison1

Hi guys,

i was wondering on how to properly extract the contents of a tpk file and save it again as a tpk file? I tried just converting the tpk file to a zip file and extract the contents, although the extraction was successful, when i tried to compress it to a zip file and converted it again to a tpk file. ArcMap cant read it anymore. My guess is the file was corrupted during my process.

Is there any 3rd app that can help me? Or a specific process that i should do?

thanks.

I use standard mac os x zip/unzip command-line utilities
for example 'Parcels' directory is content of Parcels.tpk from ESRI examples
