Is there anyway to export a map in layout view as tiff file and write geotiff tags

NaimeCelik — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 14:12:45 GMT

When you export a map in data view you can write geotiff and export your map with coordinate. Is there any way to export a map in layout view and write geotiff tags in same time? Or is the only way to get that map with cooordinates to georeference after exporting it ?

Thanks

There is no way to export out georeferenced maps from layout view.

To quote the ESRI help:

"To add georeferencing information, check Write World File. This option is only available when you export while in data view and creates a world file that contains information that is used in conjunction with the exported raster file to tell software where the image is located in the world. The file will have the same name as the image file and a file extension that is based on the first and last letters of the image's file extension plus the letter w. (For example, if you create a TIFF image named MyMap.tif, the world file is called MyMap.tfw.)"

Hi Naime,

Although there is no direct way to do it, there is a workaround.

1) Export the Map (in layout view) to GeoPDF (PDF with Map Georeference Information) in ArcMap.

2) Download GDAL. Follow this formula.

Hope it helps!!!

Thanks,

Jay

Hi Naime,

Just an update!!!

Now you have a PDF to TIFF (Conversion) tool from ArcGIS 10.3 for Desktop and later.

Cheers!!!
