Tips for Viewing and Printing County and WRIA PDF Maps

The maps on this site were created using ESRI's ArcInfo 9.2 ArcPlot software and transferred to Adobe PDF files using Acrobat 7.0 with viewing compatibility down to Acrobat 4.0.
Use the Zoom tools to increase (+) or decrease (-) the map area magnification of a specific area. First click on the tool button, then click anywhere on the map.
Use the Page Zoom tools to alter the magnification of the entire page. Click the (-) icon to zoom out, the (+) icon to zoom in and use the down arrow to access a menu of set zoom values.
Use the Pan tool by first clicking the tool, then clicking on the map and while holding down the mouse button drag the view in any direction.
All maps are color and formatted for 8.5x11 portrait or 11x8.5 landscape page size. Depending on your printer these maps may also be printed to paper size up to 11x17 without loss of resolution.
In Adobe Acrobat 5.0, the Graphics Select Tool allows the user to draw a box on the document and then print the area within the box. Click on the tool button, then select an area on the map equal to not less that ¼ of the total page size. Click the mouse on one corner of the selected area and drag a box to the opposite diagonal corner. Select Print from the File Menu and after choosing either Portrait or Landscape from the Print menu click Ok.
