In some case the text color will change to black. Other times a symbol will change.</P><P>Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue.</P><P>I am currently using ArcGIS Pro version 3.2.</P> Tue, 09 Jan 2024 21:56:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368139#M77170 Lebowski 2024-01-09T21:56:23Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368161#M77172 <P>Can you share the export settings you are using? That can often help troubleshoot what is happening.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 09 Jan 2024 22:41:54 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368161#M77172 AubriOtis 2024-01-09T22:41:54Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368344#M77193 <P>Aubri,</P><P>Thank you for replying.

They are very "basic" layouts. What is strange is that the symbology changes are not seen on everyone's machine.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 10 Jan 2024 18:02:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368490#M77212 Lebowski 2024-01-10T18:02:02Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368505#M77214 <P>Thank you! Try checking on Convert character symbols to polygon. That usually isn't needed, but for some symbol types it is to preserve the symbol properly on export.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 10 Jan 2024 18:30:02 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368505#M77214 AubriOtis 2024-01-10T18:30:02Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368511#M77216 <P>I tried this yesterday and it did not make a difference.</P> Wed, 10 Jan 2024 18:45:58 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368511#M77216 Lebowski 2024-01-10T18:45:58Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368513#M77218 <P>I don't see anything else in your settings that would be causing this. If it's only occurring on some machines it sounds like there is another factor that hasn't been identified. It could be a difference hardware, Pro version, or something else.&nbsp;</P> Wed, 10 Jan 2024 18:52:57 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/symbology-colors-and-symbols-change-exporting-to/m-p/1368513#M77218 AubriOtis 2024-01-10T18:52:57Z
