About
TAB Reader is an ArcGIS Plug-in Data Source allowing direct reading of MapInfo TAB format and MIF/MID files in ArcGIS preserving the existing native TAB rendering, symbology properties and information about coordinate system (spatial reference). At that, with TAB Reader tools you will be able to import TAB symbology to ArcGIS, batch convert TAB symbology from TAB files to ArcGIS layer (.lyr) files, as well as import MapInfo workspaces (.wor) to ArcGIS ArcMap documents (.mxd).
