Part Data Package Part Locally Stored Data

[ChrisRoberts2]

Im trying to create a published ArcReader document that contains a large aerial image.  When creating a data package, it runs through the vector data fine, but when it comes to the aerial imagery it either fails and throws up a generic error or if it does work it takes hours and the packaged image is much larger than the original, yet the quality is extremly poor.

What I am wondering is...Is there a way that I can create a arcreader document that use vector data from a data package, yet also references an image stored on the tablets local harddrive?

If you store relative pathnames to the sources in your map you can accomplish this without packaging at all.  Put all of your data into a single folder, store relative paths in your mxd, publish the map (without packaging), and then you can send the folder of data along with the pmf.
