Is it possible to create front page for ArcPro Map Series?

Question

Hi,

I am creating a map series in ArcPro. I have the layout and features setup for the pages that will be iterated through.

Is there a way to setup a front page for the map series? Not a table of context or index page (thought those would be great as well), but a front page for a report.

Appreciate the help!

I created an Excel spreadsheet that listed the page names and numbers and saved it to PDF format (one page in my case). You could also use Word, etc. Then searched online for "merge PDF" and found several sites that offered free, drag and drop PDF file merging into a single PDF (I think the Adobe Pro level will do this).

I couldn't hyperlink to the pages from the index page but other than the security risks of working online, worked like a charm.

Yes, but you would need to use arcpy to do so.

You could create a title page as a standalone PDF using your editor of choice and create a script tool that exports the map series to PDF, then creates a new PDF and appends the title page and map series PDFs

Rene - not to my knowledge.  I searched in the ArcGIS Pro Ideas community and did not see an idea already listed.  You may want to create a new idea for this item as it will then get some visibility with the ArcGIS Pro Dev Team.
