Georeferencing Your Raster Data in ArcGIS Pro

Have you ever tried to add a scanned image or raster into an ArcGIS Pro map, but it doesn’t know where in the world it is? This GeoSnap will introduce you to the georeferencing tools in ArcGIS Pro. We will step through an example of how to align and adjust a PDF file with your other GIS data to assign it a coordinate system.
