https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/legend-symbols-error-in-export/m-p/1082682#M2813 <P>I have some symbols from the ArcGIS_Explorer.style in my map. The graphics are OK like you can see in the ataachment ArcMap_correct.png.</P><P>When I export a pdf the symbols are also correct in the map but in the legend there are black rectangles instead (attachment pdf_export_error.png). I tried different settings - convert to polygon, imbedding text and so on. I tried exporting to png, emf, tiff and it is incorrect too.</P><P>I use ArcGIS Desktop 10.7.1. I exported from the same mxd some months ago and it worked great. I didn´t any ArcGIS-Update since then. Maybe a automatically Update for my Windows-System (it is not my personal PC, it is an office PC) caused this problem.</P><P>Has anyone an idea?</P><P>Thanks for your help<BR />Hans</P> Mon, 26 Jul 2021 14:08:02 GMT hajoe1973 2021-07-26T14:08:02Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcmap-questions/legend-symbols-error-in-export/m-p/1082682#M2813 <P>I have some symbols from the ArcGIS_Explorer.style in my map.
