https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/arcpy-mapping-exporttopdf-causing-symbols-to/m-p/1011454#M24986 <P>I have a python script that runs through various data layers and then exports a final map to a PDF stored locally. In each map there are up to four different symbols. When I print to PDF, I see all of the symbols that are a circle come through fine, but when I print maps that contain triangle shaped symbols, the outline for the triangle is skewed from the symbol fill.&nbsp; If I manually print to PDF from within ArcMap, this is a non-issue, this is only happening when I load my script and call the arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF from within it.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="DaveGrolling2_0-1608564597714.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.esri.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/2675iD541A4D894BAE635/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="DaveGrolling2_0-1608564597714.png" alt="DaveGrolling2_0-1608564597714.png" /></span></P><P>I have already checked to see if the outline X/Y positions were off, but they're not, they're both set to 0.</P><P>I don't understand what's happening to the triangles that's not happening to the circle symbols in my maps.
