Layout export to PDF failed

BrianMoT — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 10:56:10 GMT

I have an issue with exporting the ArcGIS Pro layer to PDF for printing. It does not give any errors just a red message: "Export Failed". The same situation with exporting to TIFF. It exports without any issues to JPG or SVG.

Maybe somebody had the same situation...?

From related issues,

BUG-000132706: Inserting a .tiff file into a report or layout resul.. (esri.com)

try a Microsoft print to PDF.png and see if that works

there is a known bug if trying to print/save with a custom page size as well

Thank you, it is clear now. But the new problem is that I need size A0 (841x1189 mm) for printing. The biggest size I can find on Microsoft print to PDF is A3 (297x420 mm)... And there is no custom size options...

the custom size option was not resolved, so you may have to come up with an alternative like svg or png as an intermediary

Exporting to off is still an issue. I tried a graphic layout with three map frames in Adcock 2.9.2 this morning. The export only reproduced two of the map frames. Strangely it worked with arcpro 2.8.
