https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/export-layout-accessibility-prefills/idi-p/1656726 <P>I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.5.2 and I've recently started looking what ArcGIS Pro offers for exporting PDFs with accessibility metadata. For the "Accessibility" tab for the "Export Layout" tool with PDFs, I noticed that if I enter information in for the accessibility inputs in one project that it carries over what I input into other projects. The reasoning behind this might make sense because ArcGIS Pro does this for all the other settings in the "Export Layout" so that you don't have to enter in the same settings every single time.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>It does not make sense for the "Accessibility" tab's "PDF Metadata" settings though as it will apply that Title, Keywords, etc to every layout I make which will 99% of the time have different titles and other metadata.

Having these items carry over to other projects or maps makes it possible to have incorrect information exported. Ideally this info would be saved with a specific item but otherwise should not carry over and should be filled in each time.</P> Mon, 30 Mar 2026 14:45:00 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/export-layout-accessibility-prefills/idc-p/1693393#M38001 jchester73 2026-03-30T14:45:00Z
