topic ArcGIS Pro Export to PDF Stalling Layers with Transparency? in ArcGIS Pro Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-export-to-pdf-stalling-layers-with/m-p/624296#M27749 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi there,&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>I'm having&nbsp;consistent issues with my PDF products after using Export to PDF with ArcGIS Pro. I think I've narrowed it to layers that have transparency set. Basically, when I export to PDF and first open the&nbsp;document it appears as if certain map layers haven't drawn (those with transparency of some level). If I resize the PDF, scroll to the next page, or even minimize the document and re-open it, the layers appear. It's like the drawing of those items is stalled until I make some sort of action to the Adobe application.&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>I don't have this issue when I print the layout as a PDF, but the quality is&nbsp;a lot worse than when exporting.</P><P></P><P>Has anyone else had this issue? Suggestions?&nbsp;</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Jan 2018 22:31:22 GMT KalenMyers 2018-01-03T22:31:22Z ArcGIS Pro Export to PDF Stalling Layers with Transparency? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/arcgis-pro-export-to-pdf-stalling-layers-with/m-p/624296#M27749 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi there,&nbsp;</P><P></P><P>I'm having&nbsp;consistent issues with my PDF products after using Export to PDF with ArcGIS Pro.
