[bug] mapSeries.exportToPDF - no suffix for single page range

TaylorCarnell1 — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 22:59:38 GMT

When exporting a map series with mapSeries.exportToPDF, if the page_range_string is a single page with page_range_type="RANGE" and multiple_files=["PDF_MULTIPLE_FILES_PAGE_NUMBER" | "PDF_MULTIPLE_FILES_PAGE_NAME"], a suffix is not added.

e.g.

map_series.exportToPDF("path/to/test.pdf", page_range_type="RANGE",page_range_string="1", multiple_files="PDF_MULTIPLE_FILES_PAGE_NUMBER") # "path/to/test.pdf" map_series.exportToPDF("path/to/test.pdf", page_range_type="RANGE",page_range_string="1,2", multiple_files="PDF_MULTIPLE_FILES_PAGE_NUMBER") # "path/to/test_1.pdf" # "path/to/test_2.pdf"

I can see this being considered expected behaviour, but it is problematic when batching multiple exports for dynamic ranges and inconsistent with the documentation:

PDF_MULTIPLE_FILES_PAGE_NUMBER—Export each map series page to an individual file and append the page number to the file name. For example, Output.PDF will become Output_1.PDF

The simplest workaround, that I currently employ, is to specify the page twice, when the range is 1.

Here is something I use,

import arcpy def export_map_series(map_series, output_path, custom_range_type, page_range_string, custom_multiple_files_option): # Check if the page_range_string is a single page if custom_range_type == "CUSTOM_RANGE" and custom_multiple_files_option in ["CUSTOM_PAGE_NUMBER", "CUSTOM_PAGE_NAME"]: pages = page_range_string.split(",") if len(pages) == 1: # Duplicate the page number if it's a single page page_range_string = f"{pages[0]},{pages[0]}" # Map custom names to ArcGIS Pro export options range_type_mapping = { "CUSTOM_RANGE": "RANGE" } multiple_files_mapping = { "CUSTOM_PAGE_NUMBER": "PDF_MULTIPLE_PAGE_NUMBER", "CUSTOM_PAGE_NAME": "PDF_MULTIPLE_PAGE_NAME" } # Perform the export map_series.exportToPDF(output_path, page_range_type=range_type_mapping[custom_range_type], page_range_string=page_range_string, multiple_files=multiple_files_mapping[custom_multiple_files_option]) # Example usage project = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") layout = project.listLayouts()[0] # Assuming the first layout is the one you want to use map_series = layout.mapSeries output_path = r"C:\Temp\CaseMaps.pdf" custom_range_type = "CUSTOM_RANGE" page_range_string = "1" # Change this to test with a single page custom_multiple_files_option = "CUSTOM_PAGE_NUMBER" export_map_series(map_series, output_path, custom_range_type, page_range_string, custom_multiple_files_option)
