Multiple Map Series into PDF

Question

Good Morning,

I'm searching for a way to export multiple map series into pdfs.

Detailed Description:

I have 4 different layouts, each being a map series, and I'm trying to write a script that appends:

Layout 1 Page 1 + Layout  2  Page 1 +  Layout  3  Page 1 +  Layout  4  Page 1 into one pdf...

that should loop based on the number of pages in the map series (each map series has the same amount).

(for example: 50 pdfs with 4 pages each)

I'm not a python pro so I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks in advance Fynn

No problem!

To loop over things, you'll just need to use a search cursor in arcpy, or iterate over a list of features generated via the ArcGIS Python API.

First of all thank you jcarlson! I just started with arcpy so this will help a lot. I used Adobe Acrobat DC before the problem is since im having multiple map series i have to do the merg 100+ times. The only thing thats mising is how i gonna loop your script to repeat it over and over again. Thanks anyway Fynn

The tricky part is getting this to work as a map series, instead of doing it manually for each feature in a layer. Can't wait for that Map Book!
