ArcReader is a free, easy-to-use desktop mapping application that allows users to view, explore, and print maps and globes. Anyone with ArcReader can view high-quality interactive maps authored by a high-level ArcGIS for Desktop product and published with the ArcGIS Publisher extension. The immense amount of details that can be contained in these maps through the multiple layers supported by PMF documents can be viewed up close using the zooming functions of ArcReader. It comes with a host of tools that include a markup pen, a highlighter, a highly configurable route finder and many more.

ArcReader is a free and easy-to-use application that allows users to view and print maps that are published as Published Map Files (PMF) by the ArcGIS Publisher extension to ArcView, ArcEditor, and ArcInfo. PMF files preserve a live connection to the data, so the user's data view is always dynamic.

ArcReader significantly increases access to maps throughout all parts of an organization, introducing a new way for individuals and enterprises to share information that was once limited to those with advanced GIS software on their computers.
