@armircoviello You can request an ArcGIS Desktop 9.3.1 Evaluation DVD from the ESRI website.

This is a free 60-day trial copy of the software.

If you are located outside the United States your request will be forwarded to your local ESRI distributor.

We are currently waiting for a new shipment of the evaluation DVDs to arrive, so requests are a bit backed up right now.

The new DVDs should be arriving next week.

Importing shapefiles into existing geospatial PDFs is available only in Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended. Please consult the Adobe Acrobat documentation for more information.

Bit dissappointed with this.

Does not support transparency.

Any transparent layers or raster images flatten all other layers beneath it in the TOC - Will this be fixed in later versions?

[esritv]

Transparent map layers in ArcGIS Desktop affect the rendering of map layers below the transparent layer. The lower map layers are effectively rasterized when output in any format. As a result, exporting a map to PDF combines the affected layers into a single raster layer. This is a limitation of the operating systems graphics engine. We plan to replace this implementation after the ArcGIS 9.4 release.

That's it? TerraGo's GeoPDF is capable of so much more.I am a current customer of TerraGO's and was a little worried for them when I initially heard ESRI was coming out with a GeoRegistered PDF. After seeing the video, TerraGo has nothing to worry about.

Thanks for your comment. The PDF features in ArcGIS 9.3 are core functionality requested by many customers. ESRI welcomes other companies extending the capability of the ArcGIS platform.

Adobe Acrobat 9 is required for this new functionality.
