How to export pdf from data driven pages using page name?

Ulises

I want to export pdf from data driven pages from a standalone python script. So far I have the following code that works fine...

import arcpy
mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Workspace\DELETEME\TestDDP\dds_test.mxd")
for pageNum in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):
    mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = pageNum
    print "Exporting page {0} of {1}".format(str(mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID), str(mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount))
    arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, r"C:\Workspace\DELETEME\TestDDP" + str(pageNum) + ".pdf")
del mxd

The issue is that I want the file to be name as the page name and not the page ID. Thing is that my grid feature class jumps from grid_id 123 to 125, but page number shows the sequential number of pages, altought I set page number field to grid_id also. Grid_ID and GRID_NAME in my feature class have the same value, but due to the jump in values, the generated pdf file 124 is actually representing the map for grid 125.

Any help is appreciated...

In the example, I sent it looks like I forgot to paste the new page number. Can you try the following?

import arcpy

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Workspace\DELETEME\TestDDP\dds_test.mxd")
pageNameField = "<FieldName>"
for pageNum in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):
     mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = pageNum
     pageName = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow.getValue(pageNameField)
     print "Exporting page {0} of {1}".format(str(mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID), str(mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount))
     arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, r"C:\Workspace\DELETEME\TestDDP" + str(pageName) + ".pdf")  
del mxd

Thanks for the reply, Christian.

Tried your suggestion and looks like the way to go, but now I keep getting the same ddp exported in the loop...

"Exporting page 344 of 475"

can't see where to fix it and how to make the pages export in order.

Thanks

In addition, you can use the following to get out the field name and then feed it back into your row.getValue() statement:

fieldName = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageNameField.name

Hi Ulises,

Try out the following to get the page name in your loop.

pageName = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow.getValue(pageNameField)

import arcpy

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Workspace\DELETEME\TestDDP\dds_test.mxd")
pageNameField = "<FieldName>"
for pageNum in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):
     pageName = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow.getValue(pageNameField)
     print "Exporting page {0} of {1}".format(str(mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID), str(mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount))    
     arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, r"C:\Workspace\DELETEME\TestDDP" + str(pageName) + ".pdf") 
del mxd
