Because this is an ongoing issue with the color ramp in ArcGIS Pro without a proposed workaround by ESRI, I decided to leave below what worked for me in order to fix the colors. 1) Export the map with the color ramp bug to a PDF file; 2) Import the PDF to Inkscape (it's free software); 3) Ungroup the map, and find the legend among all the objects via object panel, and then find the color ramp within the legend object; Make all other objects invisible - just leave the color ramp; 4) Create a new rectangle over the color ramp of the size that you think the color ramp should be, and crop the color ramp (by selecting both the new rectangle and color ramp, and go to menu Object>Clip>Set); 5) The color ramp should change to the shape of the new rectangle. Then select the color ramp and go to File>document properties, and in section Custom size click "Resize page to drawing or selection"; 6) Save as a copy> open Select as a type and choose Optimized SVG (there are some settings to play with); 7) Go back to ArcGIS Pro project, go to the layout, and insert the svg file as a picture; 😎 Move the picture to where the legend is and overlay it over the old color ramp, then stretch the image to occupy the same height as the original color ramp (to turn off the Ratio preservation, go to picture's Format) 9) Done! Hopefully this might be helpful to those who have the same color issues while we're waiting for the official fix. Vitaly After all these steps, I got the following:

Hi Tom, Alright. Thanks. FYI, I've just updated ArcGIS Pro from v.2.2.4 to 2.3.1, and the color ramp bug is still there. Vitaly

Hi Tom Thank you for the reply. It's surprising that this basic issue hasn't been addressed yet as it was reported back in version 2.1. Hopefully someone could increase the bug's priority. Meanwhile, what are the solutions or tricks I could use to make the proper legend color rump? I can't just send maps to customers without fixing the bug. I'm thinking of loading the maps to InkScape and cut the legend to proper proportions. Vitaly

Hi. I can't fix the following issue in AcrGIS Pro (v.2.2.4 😞 I have a continuous color ramp for map's elevation, and when I create a Layout with a legend, the legend's color ramp doesn't match the elevation layer. Particularly, the minimum value occupies ~20% of the legend. Please see attached below. This error is persistent in different project and with different colors. Anyone came across this issue and found a solution? Can you recreate it in your project? Thanks Vitaly

Hi I'm working with a non-urban terrain, where we have an omni-directional radio antenna on a tower and multiple slaves connected to it. I wasn't able to find an addon/function in ArcGIS (Pro) which I could use to include the shape of Fresnel zone (cylindrical ellipse) into calculation of Viewshed. I have a Viewshed done for a tower (observer with height of 30 m) and slaves (height of 5 m) over terrain, which shows the direct Line of Sight. However, in radio signals we are also interested in how the terrain abstracts the Fresnel Zone. Is there such a function in ArcGIS? I found what I need in GRASS GIS: Parallel GRASS GIS modules for viewshed and Fresnel analysis running on CUDA GPU (http://s51mo.net/fresnel/ ), although I haven't used it yet. Thanks!

I was able to work around the white grid problem by converting a TIN surface to Raster. If I use raster instead of TIN, then the lines don't show up in the exported PDF files. The core issue seems to be in how ArcGIS Pro displays the TIN surface (I work with a 3D surface in this project) - the "transparent" edges of the triangles show up in PDF as white lines. E.g. below is print-screen of a PDF file with a raster surface instead of TIN surface.

I guess I could use PNG for now. We prefer maps in PDF. Hope ESRI dev team can fix the transparency problem in PDF/EPS.

Thank you, Scott. The trick with the Smooth Line Art worked in Acrobat Reader (AR). If a user has a different PDF viewer (e.g. I use Sumatra), there might not be the same option like in AR. It appears that the issue is due to transparency, which seems to be persistent with ArcGIS: Image Transparency Issue While Exporting To PDF - ArcGIS Pro and FAQ: Why does ArcMap not support transparency in EPS, PDF, or AI export files? I suppose there is no fix directly in ArcGIS at the moment?

Thank you for reply. Interesting. After I restarted ArcGIS, the pdf export was much better, and the shading disappeared (North-West of my map). However, the white lines (the grid) on the TIN surface still remain. Can't find the option to disable them.

Hi. I'm trying to export a 2D map to a PDF file using ArcGIS Pro 2.2.4. The map has a TIN surface, with colored elevation. When the PDF file is created (Share -> Export Map), I can see tiling and triangulated shading (See print-screen "pdf_export.png" attached), but if I just print the map to pdf using a pdf printer (in my case - Cute PDF writer), then there's no extra lines or shades, which is the desirable outcome (see print-screen pdf_print.png" attached). Any thoughts on how to turn off the triangulated shades and lines when exporting to PDF? Thanks - Vitaly
