Export from ArcGIS pro to Illustrator slow

Question

Hello!

I'm having a problem with exporting a map from ArcGIS Pro to Illustrator. I installed the plug in ArcGIS Maps for Adobe CC and everything is working fine, but it takes very long time. Some maps render for an hour or two. Is there a way to speed up this process?

Thanks,
Magda

Magda,

The fix I described above does avoid exporting data that's not in the view, so I encourage you to try out 3.0 once it is made publicly available and if you're still having trouble please contact us with more details and a repro case.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for your reply. I have the latest 2.9 version, waiting for the new 3.0 to release.

I'm thinking that it might be because the base map we use have a lot of layers, so when the London map is exported it takes very long time. When I open the file in illustrator there is a lot of hidden objects that I delete to make the file working faster.  I'm wondering if there is an option not to export layers that are not visible in arcgis pro. At the moment I think it export all layers.

I hope what  I wrote makes sense.

Thanks,

Magda
