Export location and measurement markups
You can export geospatial location and measurement data to an FDF file. Each geospatial annotation has a GPTS entry.
The entry corresponds to the latitude and longitude for each of the annotation points. The types of information that
can be exported include the following:
• Marked locations entered by using the Geospatial Location tool
• Distance, perimeter (compound distance), and area measurements entered by using the Measurement tool over
geospatial content
Geospatial data can be exported by using either the Comments menu or the Comments pane.
• From the Comments menu, choose Comments > Export Comments To Data File.
• Open the Comments pane, choose Options > Export Comments To Data File.
To export a subset of the comments, select the comments, and then choose Options > Export Selected Comments.
Then, type the filename and click Save. The FDF file is saved.
