DD Command `dd`command: IsoISO to UsbUSB Changes Partition Table to APM

I am trying to dd an isoISO to a usbUSB so I can install linuxLinux on another computer, but the usbUSB changes from any partition table (GPM or MBR) to APM when it finishes.

I'm using the following command:

sudo dd if=[path of iso] of=/dev/disk2

The command "diskutil list" successfully shows the usb is /dev/disk2 and Disk Utility shows the partition table before has changed to APM.

I've worked with dd and Disk Utility several times in the past and have never until now had this problem. I believe it changed after I upgraded from OS X to macOS.

APM is not able to be used on this computer so the isoISO on the usbUSB can't be read. Help?
