Exporting Maps as Interactive PDFs

Sharing maps with non-GIS users is a common need and there are a few different ways to do this. One of the easiest is to export a layout as a PDF file. Exported PDF files can be customized to allow the user to toggle layer visibility, measure distances, perimeter or area and to view the attributes of a selected feature. PDFs can also be protected to limit exporting or printing.
