Map Series alternating page element placement

BrianBulla — Fri, 13 Sep 2019 18:38:22 GMT

Is there a way to alternate the placement of elements within a map series? For example, when printing a double-sided map series I want the "Page Number" element to be placed on the rights side on odd pages, and on the left side on even pages.

Also shifting all elements slightly left (or right) is also desirable when printing for a spiral bound book.

The only way I have found to do this is by creating two separate Layouts, each with the desired placement of all elements done manually...one for Even pages and one for Odd pages. This also requires a custom grid for each map which is a bit of a pain as well as other slight modifications.

Has anyone else dealt with this issue? What solutions do you use??

Thanks,

Hi Brian,

Unfortunately there is no "out-of-the-box" solution for this. As you state above you will need different 2 layouts. You will then need to use python code to "stitch" the pages together in the PDF.
