I have worked with field polygons in the past and ran into a lot of topology errors. I wonder if it could be causing your problem.</P> Thu, 16 Sep 2021 21:18:35 GMT kah7_uagis 2021-09-16T21:18:35Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/layout-view-when-printing-to-pdf-creates-white/m-p/1099025#M45645 <P>Hi all,</P><P>I'm new to the website and just started working. I have ArcGIS Pro 2.8.3 an Advance License, and I'm having issues with layout view, when printing to pdf, creating white artifacts around my shapefile book17 polygon features. But when in Map view it doesn't have these artifacts. My other&nbsp;shapefiles books do not have this issue but it seems to be related to this specific book17. I know that it's only related to this specifc shapefile as I turn off and on the layer within the map and reprinting as a PDF doesn't show the white artifacts. Is there something I'm missing? Inputs would be appreciated, Thank you!&nbsp;</P> Thu, 16 Sep 2021 18:22:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/layout-view-when-printing-to-pdf-creates-white/m-p/1099025#M45645 Anonymous User 2021-09-16T18:22:31Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/layout-view-when-printing-to-pdf-creates-white/m-p/1099151#M45655 <P>Have you checked the topology of your polygons?
