Interact with geospatial PDFs
When you open a geospatially enabled PDF, you can find locations, measure distances, and add location markers. You
can also copy coordinates to the clipboard for use with a web mapping service.
View the geospatial measuring tools by choosing Tools > Analysis > Show Analysis Toolbar.
Use the Geospatial Location tool to perform these tasks:
• View latitude and longitude while the cursor is over an area containing geospatial information.
• Mark a location with a geospatial annotation.
• Search for a location in a document.

Type the latitude and longitude values (degrees, minutes, seconds, or decimal) in the two text boxes, and click Find.
If at least one location is available, the location is highlighted with a blue square and the page is centered on the
highlighted location.

If the PDF includes more than one map, click the Next or Previous button to view additional results, if any. Multiple
locations are available in several situations:
• When a document contains multiple maps (for example, if a PDF contains a smaller map within a larger map, such
as a city within a map of a state or country). When you search for a location within the city, Acrobat finds it in both
the larger map and the city map.
• When a document contains multiple pages of a map (for example, if page one is a map of a country and page two
is a map of a state or city within the country).
(Optional) To add a comment (such as a place name or address), click the location marker, and then add the

To end the search, right-click inside the map. Then select Hide Location Search, to remove the search boxes.
