Export layout to jpeg

Official4

I want to export my layout to jpeg using arcpy but I was getting this error "Runtime error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 22, in <module>
File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.8\arcpy\arcpy\utils.py", line 182, in fn_

return self._arc_object.exportToJPEG(*args)
AttributeError: PageLayoutObject: Error in executing ExportToJPEG". I change the path to different folder and it worked. I am now getting the same errors again. What could be the cause and any workaround?

Hi,

When using arcpy and python, make sure that you add r'' ('raw string') before the path. so for example:

outputpath = r'C:\Temp\MyFolder'

You coul also write like this:

outputpath = "C:\\Temp\\MyFolder"

or

outputpath = 'C:/Temp/MyFolder'
