Annotation exporting outside data frame V10

AustinStreetman — Thu, 12 May 2011 14:31:26 GMT

Running ArcGIS 10 SP2, when I export to PDF, annotation from a V9.3 file Geodatabase shows up in the margins of the map, outside of the data frame.

No, not yet. I tried creating some test annotation in a Version 10 database and this problem did not occur.

The other test I made was to convert my existing anno to a version 10 database and this did not fix the problem.

I am having the same issue also, when exporting to pdf. The problem doesn't occur when exported to a jpg. It seems to have started after SP2 was installed. I've attched two screen shots: the original mxd and the exported pdf.

Partial solution

I have also encountered this problem in a new version 10 database.

Here is a very goofy solution:

In Layout view, create a graphic rectangle that goes out the edge of the page. (can use guides for this)

Create another rectangle the same size as the Data Frame, align to the data frame

Send the new graphic to the back

Send the Data Frame to the back

Set the graphic to have the same border you want your Data Frame to have.

Now when you export, the square doughnut graphic will mask anything that hangs out of the Data Frame.

Hi, I had the same problem.
I just grouped all layers into one and it works correctly.

This work around does not work for me. I still get annotation outside the data frame. ESRI?

I contacted ESRI Tech Support and here's thier response:

"I came across a known software defect with the issue. The reference for the software defect is as belows:

NIM067880 - Annotation features display outside of the data frame when exporting a map.

The status of the issue is "NEW" which mean that development team of ESRI will be reviewing the bug. I have added your issue to the software defect. "

I just started noticing this very same issue for v.10 sp2. I'm sad that everyone else is having to deal with it, but kind of glad that I haven't gone crazy, that this is a known bug. I'll try some of the workarounds. I get it for both v.9.3 and v.10 gdb annotation.

Thanks for the work-around - though goofy, it did the trick! I'd like to add that I've experienced this problem with layers that are shapefiles as well, though other geodatabase feature classes were also drawn into the map with labels turned on. Additionally, I've had both labels AND annotation draw outside the dataframe after exporting. Glad to see its been logged as a bug with severity "High". I hope a patch is released soon!

Well, I'm glad to hear that others are having this problem, too! I am similarly afflicted.

Re: Annotation exporting outside data frame V10

TheresaValentine — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 22:19:00 GMT

I fixed it by creating a shapefile polygon of the extent of the data frame...
then I used it to select by location for my annotation. Once I had the annotation that was completely within the polygon, I right clicked on the annotation, select, then saved selected features as a layer file. I then turned off the original annotation, and used the selected annotation.

worked like a charm, but sure hope they fix this bug. this has cost me on a map publication time-line.

Our shop experienced the problem of labels (not annotation) showing up outside of the data frame after exporting. This is definitely a "high" severity problem -- we reverted back to pre-SP2 and will wait until a patch comes out before installing SP2 again.

Any word on when this bug will be fixed? It is affecting all of my DDP projects and regular map layouts.
I do have work-arounds for now but I can't very well go around to each of the users here and explain the extra work they need to do in order to get the functionality to work.
Thanks 🙂

Hello All,

I was experiencing the same issue.Some annotation layers (created in pre v10 gdb) were showing up outside the dataframe. I foud a possible work-around:

I just tried using print to pdf using Primo pdf to create the pdf and it has solved the problem for me.

(The polygon in the layout view polygon did not work for me as I wanted the grid associated with my data frame to show up and it was being masked by the dougnhut.)

Hope this helps!

Service Pack 3 solves the annotation layer labeling outside layout frame...

Just installed SP3. Problem still persists.

MarkMcGovern — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 02:33:14 GMT

I'd never noticed this issue prior to loading SP3 last week but just exported 36 pages to PDF and just about every page had annotation and in some case point elements outside data frame. I just used CutePDF and it wasn't a problem.

I just installed SP3, and started having this problem. For me the annotation is even popping out through a doughnut shape.

Further to this issue the data driven set that I exported has data frames rotated to an angle from a field value but this wasn't an issue in the past. I haven't noticed any problems where there hasn't been a rotation but have yet to test with SP3.
