Map Data Workflow

Bring files into a GIS

Need PAC content inside a GIS project? reaConverter converts it to SHP offline and in batch, so a whole folder arrives in the format your GIS expects. Placing it on the map is then a job for the GIS.

  • Convert a whole folder to SHP in one pass
  • Apply the same settings to every file in the batch
  • Pick up new data automatically with Watch Folders, or script the job from the command line

Everything runs on your PC, which matters for cadastral, utility and client data that should not pass through an upload form.

FAQ

PAC to SHP Conversion

What are PAC files?

PAC is an image format associated with Atari ST, 8-bit, Falcon and Portfolio computers and it is currently considered rare and obsolete. Atari computers were mostly popular during the 1980s and 1990s, and were considered pioneers of video gaming. In case you found or received a PAC image, it probably dates from that time and might be difficult to open using regular image viewers.

What are SHP files?

The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
