How do I view PDFs located in an ArcPro Catalog folder.

How do I view PDFs located in an ArcPro Catalog folder. In the past, I would add a pdf file type in the Customize/ArcCatalog Options selections. But I have yet to find this option in ArcPro's Catalog Pane. Is this an available feature. Can I select pdfs to open while in ArcPro's Catalog folder?

If you go to Supported data types and items—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation and search for "pdf" it will bring you to a section where it talks about the file types that are not available\shown in the catalog pane or #catalog view which pdf is listed there. Hopefully ESRI will change that as I liked having the option to see the non-spatial contents of a folder alongside the spatial contents instead of keeping a Windows Explorer window open.

Of course. What a bummer and not at all convenient because I do view PDFs quite a bit when I have ArcPRO open and editing. I have to keep Desktop ArcCatalog or file explorer open to have these PDFs readily available for viewing. I just took the ArcPRO course last month at ESRI, so I am still in that learning curve, but I am now using it pretty much full time. I do have to open up ArcMap to edit SDE geodatabase annotation. I will have to wait until all staff are using ArcPRO in order to upgrade the annotation (at least that is what I could figure out from the HELP notes). I have no idea when all staff will be using PRO. Thanks, Dan.

Margaret, you will confirm that even changing the extension so it shows up, won't allow you to open it properly. ArcGIS Pro just seems to ignore files with a particular extension since they probably don't contain data.

Thanks for responding, Dan. I will test your response...I want to be able to open it up, like I do with ArcGIS Desktop.

I dont think so, the only way I could get a pdf is to rename it with an extension that might indicate that it would contain data. In this case I changed *.pdf to *.txt to get it to list in the catalog view/pane
