"Patently fraudulent"???!!!!I have been doing MLI's for years and nearly every surveyor I know of in this area has too. They were explicitly listed as...
I use ExpertGPS for stuff like that. It's $75. You would have to convert the .pdf to an image file (.jpeg, .tiff, etc.) & then you can easily impo...
