When exporting layout to pdf map, point features are sometimes offset in the exported PDF, but look fine in the layout in ArcPro. Sometimes changing symbology helps, but it doesn't solve the problem entirely. Anyone else having this issue?? Any help is greatly appreciated. Screenshots below for more context. ArcPro version 3.4.3
That's interesting behavior. Are you using a map series? Is the data in a graphics layer? And can you share the export settings you have?
Adding to the questions - are you using a script to export? Are you using the PDF presets or clicking the button to Export?
Hi Aubri,
Yes i'm using a map series. data driving off of the point features (that are being skewed/shifted) themselves.
The data is not in a graphics layer.
i've attached my export settings in this post.
Hi Robert,
Not sure what you mean by script, but I'm using a def query to run the map's, yes. I am not using any PDF presets as I'd like to be able to update the settings I need.
Interesting. I don't see anything in the export settings that gives cause for concern. You could try it with Output as Image selected and see if that resolves the problem. It rasterizes the entire map in the output.
I think I figured it out. It has to do with conflicting/different coordinate systems between layers in the aprx I'm using to generate maps. The layer with the offset is set to wgs 1984 web mercator (auxiliary sphere), and the others set to their local state plane coordinate system. According to google and other forums, that auxiliary sphere coordinate system can cause projection issues when there are other layers in the aprx with different projections/coordinate systems...
