Wondering about best methods for creating and managing accessible pdf maps. I have tried normal export out of ArcMap to PDF then adding tags and reading order within Acrobat Pro DC. Seems to work ok with some pdf maps but with others, there are many objects of text that need to be removed or they will all be read out loud (every road, street, river, park name etc.) when really only a description of main elements of the map are needed. So when I attempt to remove them, this seems to sometimes mess up the map leaving blank areas. I also attempted to bring the map into ArcGIS Pro then export as an image only pdf, but the text still ends up being recognized as text. This seems like a cumbersome process that needs to be repeated any time a map is updated. Is anyone using other software to create their accessible PDF maps? Adobe InDesign maybe? If so how do you go about it. I haven't found good documentation on how to go about it with that software. Another program? Seems like this should be a feature built into ArcGIS Pro so that every time that map is exported the reading order elements will already be setup and not have to be redone. Help and advice appreciated. Thanks. ... View more

Is it possible to have different capabilities for each layer in a hosted feature service? For example, in a Hydrant inspection map with related tables, could the Hydrants be capable of Updates, while the tables are not capable of updates? I have had to symbolize the inspection status within the Hydrants which requires allowing updates. However, I would like to have updates turned off for the inspection and maintenance tables so they cannot be edited once submitted. If not possible through publishing the service, can it be done via rest services? hosted featureservice  ...

I like ability to run a custom query using the Query Widget, however, when exporting to csv from inspections data the time is being stripped out of a date/time field. Please add this feature to the Query Widget. Note: we are using ArcGIS Portal, if already implemented it may not be appearing due to portal version being used. ... View more
