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.

If at least one location is available, the location is highlighted with a blue square and the page is centered on the highlighted location. 4 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). 5 (Optional) To add a comment (such as a place name or address), click the location marker, and then add the information in the comment box. 6 To end the search, right-click inside the map.
