I would hate to send this PDF to external companies and expect them to understand the layer structure... Can this be amended to replicate the way the legend is setup? With just a list of feature classes? The inclusion of the folders with "Other 3", Layers, "Other 2" etc is very confusing.<BR /><BR /><IMG alt="0EME0000000Ti0S" height="376" width="500" __migration_original_url="https://c.na9.content.force.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=00aE0000004LHMF&amp;feoid=CommentBody&amp;refid=0EME0000000Ti0S" __migration_image_ext="0EME0000000Ti0S" class="jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/203434_0EME0000000Ti0S" /> <!-- content transformation source ID: 00aE0000004LHMF --> </BODY></HTML> Thu, 31 Oct 2013 05:30:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/ability-to-export-to-a-pdf-with-layers-able-to-be/idc-p/967327#M8679 BenVan_Kesteren1 2013-10-31T05:30:31Z Re: Ability to export to a PDF with layers able to be toggled on/off within PDF document. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/ability-to-export-to-a-pdf-with-layers-able-to-be/idc-p/967328#M8680 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>I think this is more of an issue with Adobe, not ArcGIS. &nbsp;ben_vks workflow is the best way to do this that I know of. <!-- content transformation source ID: 00aE0000004LqSZ --> </BODY></HTML> Fri, 15 Nov 2013 15:36:22 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/ability-to-export-to-a-pdf-with-layers-able-to-be/idc-p/967328#M8680 PatrickMoulden 2013-11-15T15:36:22Z Re: Ability to export to a PDF with layers able to be toggled on/off within PDF document. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/ability-to-export-to-a-pdf-with-layers-able-to-be/idc-p/967329#M8681 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>The Export to PDF Advanced options allow you to export ArcMap layers to PDF layers. If you export a layout that contains graphic elements, the graphic elements are assigned PDF layer names such as "Other," "Other 2," etc., which are meaningless. Since ArcMap supports exporting to PDF layers, there should be a way in ArcMap to define names for the graphic layers being exported so that they can be recognized in the PDF.<BR /><BR />Also listed as Enhancement request: NIM041941 <!-- content transformation source ID: 00aE000000FJ6JN --> </BODY></HTML> Wed, 25 Nov 2015 14:31:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/ability-to-export-to-a-pdf-with-layers-able-to-be/idc-p/967329#M8681 PaulHickson 2015-11-25T14:31:20Z Re: Ability to export to a PDF with layers able to be toggled on/off within PDF document. - Status changed to: Already Offered https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/ability-to-export-to-a-pdf-with-layers-able-to-be/idc-p/1414539#M29646 <P>This is available in ArcGIS Pro.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 24 Apr 2024 04:19:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/ability-to-export-to-a-pdf-with-layers-able-to-be/idc-p/1414539#M29646 AubriOtis 2024-04-24T04:19:40Z
