Scale to any size you want without losing quality.
This PDF is a vector file. You can scale it to any size you want without losing quality. Editing this PDF is possible though limited due to the nature of the file: no layers and text is outlined.
You can open this PDF in Adobe Illustrator and select/edit all objects. But if you need to make lots of edits it is probably better to go for the layered vector option.

- Fully layered – Layers make it easy to navigate the maps. All objects, where applicable, have names. It is easy to select a particular country, city and much more. Just click on the object with the appropriate name and you are done.
