Printing or Exporting TextSymbol

[NicholasGross]

I'm trying to give users the ability to make text notations on the map and print them out. I can get the text on the map without any issues using either a text symbol or a marker symbol with a textblock in the template. But, in either case, when using the print task they both just show up as a point graphic on the final document.

Is there any way to allow printing of markup text?

I'm not sure this will help, but try changing the RendererTakesPrecedence setting.

Make sure the users all have the gis fonts on their computers and that your printers are enabled for True Type Fonts.

Are you printing direct to a printer or to a PDF.

Try exporting the print as a PDF.  In the format tab select Embed All Document Fonts.

I think that did the trick for the text symbol. Thank you!
