Hi,

In my line of work, I need to be able to georeference PDFs in ArcGIS Pro. We already have significant library of all the PDFs that we need (more that 100,000). For us it is a waste of space and money to convert all of these (and future) PDFs in TIFF or JPEG files.We will need additional space to store them. We have other programs that are using the same PDFs and will not work with other format of raster files. In other words, we need to be able to georeference PDF.

 

Thanks!

@KoryKramer  no such luck, same problem. Also noticing that almost the entire directory is replaced with '.' when listing by data source.

@wayfaringrob Looks like this isn't totally straightforward as there is not a clearcut repro case to this happening. Can you share the path of where your project is stored where you're seeing the broken layers for PDF raster layers?

@wayfaringrob is either your project and/or the pdf file stored in a OneDrive path?

Same here recently started using this tool to import builing plans into our Enterprise System.

PDF Import would be good but also trying to get consultants to send Georeferenced .dwg or .rvt files. looking to build better defined workflows for consenting, administering, validating maintaining data sets.
