Rajni,

You can use the Print widget.

ArcGIS API for JavaScript Sandbox

Or your ArcGIS Servers print service

YOUR ARCGIS SERVER/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task

This gives you the ability to export your map as a PDF.

Rajni,

My recommendation is that while you are developing your code you should always use the most current API version. But there is no requirement for this unless there is some new feature or bug fix that you require from 4.15. The utility.arcgisonline.com url will be fine if you do not have your own ArcGIS Server.

This is what i found in browser params, I think it passes parameters of defined markers but do not show it on map.

Is their any way to display markers also.

Rajni,

You marker symbol url is invalid:

http://abc.com/wp-content/plugins/listing/public/images/High_signal.svg

Try using an esri image and it works fine:

      const textSymbol = {
        type: "picture-marker",
        url: "https://js.arcgis.com/3.28/esri/dijit/Search/images/search-pointer.png",
        width: "36px",
        height: "36px"
      };‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Rajni,

So a developer would encounter an issue and then try and trouble shoot what it going wrong first. So The way I would see this is that my marker is not showing in the print, why? What would happen if I use another image in my PictureMarkerSymbol instead of my svg? What if I use an svg or image that is not local on my machine but public on some website? What if I use an esri image on their web servers? Which of those work? Why does one work and not the other. Is it an issue with accessing my svg locally?

I make it work like this. this return an image in base 64, further anyone can convert it to image.

// add an event listener to trigger the area selection mode
screenshotBtn.addEventListener("click", function() {

         let area = null;
         const xmin =1;
         const ymin = 1;
         const xmax = 1400;
         const ymax= 700;
        area = {
        x: xmin,
        y: ymin,
        width: xmax - xmin,
        height: ymax - ymin
      };

      // the screenshot of the selected area is taken
      view
        .takeScreenshot({ area: area, format: "png" })
        .then(function(screenshot) {
          var data_image_url=screenshot.dataUrl;
          //console.log(data_image_url);
          jQuery.ajax({
                        type : "POST",
                        dataType : "JSON",
                        data : {action:'save_map_image',listing_id:<?=$list_data['listing_id']?>,image_data_url:data_image_url }
                         });
            });
          });

Is it possible to use this solution if our map consists of displaying Feature Layers via URLs from ArcGIS Online rather than ArcGIS Server?
