Gregory, Yes, you did answer your own question... an ArcGIS Layer file (Layer Package .LPK or .LYR for network connected data sources) is the way to go, for seeing Popup content as you authored it in ArcMap. Mark ... View more

AB, Looking at your question I am thinking about it in two ways.  1. You have all of the XY information as points, how do you update the photos with that information? 2. The other is, how do I add the pictures to the shapefile? I think to get what you want, you will do both..  well actually you will create a new feature class that contains all of the information. For 1 there are a number of manual ways to do this.. One that I am familiar with is to use ArcGIS Explorer Desktop.  ArcGIS Explorer | Download Click Add Geotag Photo Browse to your folder of pictures and select one or more. Explorer will ask you if you want to manually add Geotag information. Click yes,  and then zoom the map to update each photo with geotag information. and continue... Once you have all of the photos updated you could use Geotag photo to point to create a feature class with a reference to the photos on Disk, as well as Attachment if desired. With geotag photo you just browse to a folder and it creates the Features from all of the photos using the Geotag information. Once you have done this, You can use a spatial join to your original points  to transfer the attribute information you have to the new feature class.  This is Step 2.  Create a feature class that contains the Photo as well as the attribute information from the shapefile. Spatial Join allows you to specify a radius, so the manually tagged photos do not need to exactly match your shapefile points.   In ArcGIS Explorer Desktop you could add your shapefile to help with tagging the photos as closely as possible to the desired position.

Jeff, How are you trying to use the Logo in the Arcmap? just taking a guess, but if you are trying to insert a logo graphic into the layout you may want to try using a Markersymbol with a Picture Marker Symbol of your logo. Make sure there is no "gradient transparency in your logo" as it may not print well. For example.  Here is a a picture of what it looks like on Screen in ArcMap Layout view. This is what it looks like printed out. In the Top logo the "gradient transparency" was removed to get a cleaner print. If we look closely at the logo on screen the glow effect is what I am talking about in regards to gradient transparency. Mark ... View more

I see the same issue in ArcGIS Explorer Desktop 2505.  (the problem does not occur in the software we are working on for the next release).  I notice that their is an image service that does work.  NMC example here.  http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=7b2e147e7e204b6193c80caa0fff8d36 Setting the image service properties as follows, will get it displaying the same as the Map Service. ...

There is no workaround for this.   If you create PMFs with ArcGIS 10.3 you will need ArcReader 10.3 to read them. ArcReader 10.3 can open PMFs that were created with earlier versions of ArcGIS, so it is backward compatible.  But as you are aware, ArcGIS Publisher cannot make PMFs that are compatible with older versions of ArcReader. ...

From ArcGIS Desktop  Layer Packages work pretty good for this.   A layer package contains the data as well as the ArcGIS LYR file which tells the software how do display the layer.   From the table of contents just right click on the layer and click "Create Layer Package..."
