The same issue has occurred with me.  I am grading a lot of pdf exports.  I think I tried to overwrite a PDF with a new one of the same name as well.  All my exported layout pdfs are 1kb and won't open.   I am trying to export models using Pro 3.1. ... View more

I just put a note in my assignment asking them to skip this step and just add the topo basemap in Add Data.  I just wanted the students to have a successful search in the arcgis online exercise. ... View more

Yes, thank you Dan.  I am not using 10.3.  However, do you know where I can get the data for this particular book anyways?  I am using ArcGIS Desktop 10.8 and moving my students into Pro 2.8 in middle of the semester.  I need this data as a refresher for students who have not used ArcGIS for a while and can go through these tutorials to catch up and move on to the new stuff.  I have updated most of my courses but waiting on updated ArcGIS Pro book on Lining Up Data.  I will update this course for both of these books in the next semester. In the meantime, my students have ordered this book for this semester and I did not know the data link was removed. Any help in gaining access to this data would be greatly appreciated. ...

I need to update my link for the Getting to Know ArcGIS Desktop 5th edition data download. The above link does not give me access to the data.  I need it for my Intro GIS students who are using the 5th edition book. ... View more

I am a GIS instructor at a local community college.  I have been working with this ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced installation since August, 2013 (1-yr license) with no big issues. When I tried to run the Define Projection utility, I received a 'license is in need of a repair operation.  Please access ArcGIS Administrator to repair your licenses.' message.  http://screencast.com/t/EWkU2llQsq  I select OK and receive the following additional message: 'You are not licensed for Geodatabase Editor.  Use ArcGIS Administrator to view the software availability, change the license manager, or switch the ArcGIS software product.'  http://screencast.com/t/c2BVnbvL After reading on the forum, I checked the programs installed and ArcGIS 10.1 SP1 for Desktop Background Geoprocessing (64-bit) was installed on Feb. 7, 2014.  http://screencast.com/t/7RyC0x7Ja  This is odd because I did not install anything with ArcGIS.... However, I allowed an upgrade of Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 around that time. (??) I have the following setup: -ArcGIS Desktop version: 10.1sp1 -Confirm 64bit Background is installed: Yes   -is ArcGIS Server installed? No -is ArcEngine Installed? No -Do you use a Single Use or Concurrent license? Single I am anxious as I have a bunch of students needing some test study guides, but I need a working install to produce them.  I am snowed in so home laptop is only option for now. I guess I will uninstall the Desktop Background Geoprocessing and hope it works.  However, I am not sure what functionality I am losing when I remove this part of the install. ... View more
