Print Widget has limits

spencermartin

I've gotten the print widget to do most of what we need. The only issues I have found are that it will not print a textsymbol nor a Bing aerial base map. Does anyone have any experience
with these two items?

The ID for the text symbol bug is NIM080545. We're planning to fix in the next release (3.2) which should be out in a week or two. Watch the ArcGIS Blog's Developer feed for notification of when the release officially happens.

Thanks. Looks like the text symbol issue is a bug. I'll post a bug ID to track it once I've confirmed.

Was the text symbol posted as a bug? If so, do you know the status or have the bug ID?

Using MAP_STYLE_AERIAL_WITH_LABELS the workaround you suggest works so long as no additional graphic is added. Once I add a graphic it doesn't print but does work with MAP_STYLE_AERIAL instead.

On Bing maps I just confirmed that MAP_STYLE_AERIAL_WITH_LABELS is what doesn't print vs your version of MAP_STYLE_AERIAL. Strangely similar to the textsymbol bug. Thanks.

Also a bug...the print dijit is sending the wrong layer.type property to the print service. It is sending "BingMapsaerialWithLabels" instead of "BingMapsHybrid". Here's a workaround: http://jsfiddle.net/axPwz/

The key is using esri.setRequestPreCallback to update the JSON that's sent to the print service. Here's the relevant code:

function fixBingHybrid(ioArgs) {
  // look for requests to the print service
  if ( ioArgs.url == app.printUrl + "/execute" ) {
    var webmapJson = dojo.fromJson(ioArgs.content.Web_Map_as_JSON);
    // check that the webmap JSON has operational layers
    // bing is always considered an operational layer
    if ( webmapJson.operationalLayers.length ) {
      dojo.forEach(webmapJson.operationalLayers, function(lyr) {
        // correct the type property for the bing hybrid layer
        if ( lyr.type && lyr.type == "BingMapsaerialWithLabels" ) {
          lyr.type = "BingMapsHybrid";
        }
      });
      ioArgs.content.Web_Map_as_JSON = dojo.toJson(webmapJson);
    }
  }
  return ioArgs;
}

And this line in the init function:

esri.setRequestPreCallback(fixBingHybrid);

I see bing maps in the print output here: http://jsfiddle.net/zKaVn/

10.1 Server and 3.0 js api

derekswingley1

I'll do a little research but before I get into that, which versions of the JS API and ArcGIS Server are you using?
