It’s nice when you find a simple solution to a straight forward problem. And often the answer has been staring you in the face. Well I had recently been advising a colleague on using ESRI’s ArcMap to produce a map for the Journal of Maps and I was asked how to output a PDF. Having been generating PDF’s for many years from both Actobat and, more recently, the very good PDF Factory I naturally suggested he install a PDF printer driver and “export” it that way. Half-an-hour later I had an email saying that all you actually had to do was go to “File” and “Export Map” in ArcMap and select PDF. Simple!
