For example, I have a cad drawing of groundwater topography sent to me in PDF format that I have no idea how to add to ArcGis Pro. If somebody could just point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.</P><P></P><P>Thank you.</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 22 Oct 2019 19:23:03 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/aec-architecture-engineering-and-construction/what-is-the-best-way-to-learn-how-to-create-layers/m-p/239740#M139 JustinFetzer1 2019-10-22T19:23:03Z Re: What is the best way to learn how to create layers? https://community.esri.com/t5/aec-architecture-engineering-and-construction/what-is-the-best-way-to-learn-how-to-create-layers/m-p/239741#M140 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Since a PDF isn't a supported input format for ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro, you're going to need to convert the PDF to a TIFF or JPEG, then <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/help/data/imagery/georeferencing-a-raster-to-a-referenced-layer.htm">georeference </A>it as usual.
