This is a known limitation of the ArcGIS Maps SDK that supports the geospatial PDF capability in Field Maps. It is under consideration for a future release of the SDK but no release has been set. Once picked up, Field Maps support can be added.  ... View more

@AlfredBaldenweck appreciate your feedback and opinions. Thank you for responding. In case you were unaware, you can disable use of personal markup in web maps from the app settings in Field Maps Designer. Given your needs and concerns, it might be best. ... View more

@LindsayRaabe_FPCWA this makes sense, thank you. It's unfortunate that agencies within Australia have not centered on one platform, like is present here in the US. The additional management of separate files on an incident is error prone, likely requires a GIS analyst to important, merge, and QA/QC content, and makes real-time response challenging. It would be useful to know what type of data your would capture in markup that would be shared? Also, if you're not aware, this article shows how to publish a .markup file. ... View more

@AlfredBaldenweck want to dig in on your markup comments and the related idea.  Can you explain why you think markups are generally useless for you? Is it because you want the markup as a feature? If yes, what are you wanting to do with the generic sketch that is captured? ... View more

@LindsayRaabe_FPCWA you can use a PDF as a basemap in your web map and that web map can include a feature layer that supports editing. We are planning to improve the map capture experience for data capture in Field Maps, including free-hand sketch, so wondering if this would be the desired experience or if there is more here that we need to understand. ...

@SWATConsultingInc can you give us a bit more detail on your specific use case for this and if you've looked at using a feature layer and the collect experience to satisfy this need? ... View more

Hi @Davis_Dad23 , If you are referring to branch versioning, yes you can. Inside of the Versioning section of App Settings within Field Maps Designer, you can choose a specific branch version to switch to for each feature service in your map. This post from @TravisSaladino highlights the experience added with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5. We are planning to support defining a list of versions per feature service that the mobile worker will be able to switch between. With Field Maps Designer, this will be included in the 12.1 release of ArcGIS Enterprise and a future update of the mobile apps later this year will provide the ability to switch between that subset of versions.  ...

Sorry for the delayed response @PeterKnoop, yes. You can manually add the typeKeyword "FieldMapsDisabled" to PDF items previously uploaded. Use of the keywords at the 26.1 release: The setting This is a geospatial PDF that writes keyword "Geospatial PDF" when enabled is only used by Field Maps Designer. The setting Use in ArcGIS Field Maps that writes keyword "FieldMapsDisabled" when set to disabled is used to filter PDFs in the Field Maps mobile app, can be used and set in Field Maps Designer.  With the 26.2 release coming in June, we will add a check fo rthe "Geospatial PDF" keyword as well.   ...

@jtmouw_NCDOT did the PDF exist as an item before the new settings were introduced? If yes, this is a known limitation with the release.  To work around this limitation: Enable the "This is a geospatial PDF" setting, which will enable the "Use in ArcGIS Field Maps" setting. Disable the "This is a geospatial PDF" setting which will disable the "Use in ArcGIS Field Maps" setting and write the necessary information to your PDF item. If you have a lot of PDF items that need to be updated, we are preparing a python script that you will be able to use to update these items in bulk. These setting will be included in ArcGIS Enterprise 12.1 as well.  ... View more
