Communication between ArcGIS Server Flex Map object and ArcGIS SOAP based Map Objects

nidhiarora — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 06:16:54 GMT

Hi ,
I want to export com.esri.ags.Map object to pdf. The export services available with ArcGIS Api work with com.esri.ags.layers and not Map object . I have explored the forums and come across AlivePdf and other open source pdf library for flex. We cannot use those library. Is there any mechanism to pass the flex api Map Object to SOAP api Map object or Web ADF map object , wherein export functions are available.

Regards
Nidhi

Nidhi,

I think for what you are trying to do you will have to export each individual map service (layer) and then in .Net merge then together to form the final image. There is not a export ability as you stated on the map component. You could use flex to capture an image of the map but you would be reduced to the screen resolution of the client.
