Starting ArcReader is the first step to exploring a published map. However, before you can start, ArcReader must be installed on your computer.
Once the software is installed, you can access ArcReader from the Start button on the Windows taskbar. Each ArcReader session can display one map at a time. You can work with several maps by starting additional ArcReader sessions.
You can also start ArcReader from the command line. The parameters you use are described in the following table:
| Usage | Description |
|---|---|
ArcReader /? | help | Lists the usage for the command line |
ArcReader /v | version | Displays the c version number |
ArcReader /last | Starts ArcReader with the last used map |
The following table lists parameters that can be combined and must be specified with a published map:

ArcReader /p <.pmf> | Prints the specified published map |
ArcReader /bookmark <value> <.pmf> | Opens the published map to a bookmark |
