PeterMacKenzie1

is there any code to check if an mxd has data driven pages activated?

e.g.

Hi Peter,

In fact there is (at least in 10.1 and 10.2, I didn't check older versions). The arcpy.mapping.MapDocument has a property "isDDPEnabled":

    import arcpy     myMXD = r'C:\Project\_LearnPython\DDPwelaan.mxd'     mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(myMXD)     if mxd.isDDPEnabled:         # do something with Data Driven Pages         pass     else:         # do something else here         pass
