Pie chart symbols not showing in exported pdf map

PeteKnutson

I have been unable to export, (using ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1) a map showing pie charts. When exporting to pdf, the pie chart symbols are not showing. It's a small page size map with less than 10 pie chart symbols created from a point feature class and 7 numeric fields. Can this be done? Has anyone else experienced this and determined why it's happening?

I have this problem too. I have a large wall map (42in x 42in) displaying quite a bit of information and I am using pie chart symbology with label expressions. At a scale of 1:300,000 and symbol size of 48 they were exporting fine as pdf. When I made a second map at a scale of 1:700,000 and symbol size of 55, the pie charts no longer display in the exported pdf. Every other symbology displays fine (and this is a busy map!). The dpi is set to 150, CYMK and all that. Still tweaking it to see if the symbol point size has a threshold...

Like I said, the two maps are identical in page size and setup. One has a smaller scale than the other with a handful of more polygons but less line work. The pie chart symbol is the only one that is disappearing upon export. There is no transparency on the pie charts...

I think it might have found what was causing the issue. I had made the pie charts transparent. When I removed the transparency, it rendered fine and at high resolution. Then I applied transparency in Illustrator.

I am also having this issue, even exporting to PNG and TIFF. However, if I drop the dpi to 96, the resulting export looks like it should albeit with poor resolution. As soon as I increase the dpi, the pie charts start dropping out and don't render.

Every element on the map shows up except pie charts when exporting to pdf or jpg. All elements show up on maps exported to tiff and png. We find printing large format maps works best in pdf with our plotter. I thought others using 10.3.1 might have experienced the same problem.

What shows up in their place? Have you tried other file types for exporting to see if they work (out of curiosity)?

I know how to create pie chart symbols and export maps to pdf, but when I do try this, the pie chart symbols are not showing in the exported pdf map.

Can you give a little more details of what you are doing and where you are finding troubles?
