Hi,
I am using a python GP service to run a print task to PDF with custom layouts. This works great, except when i have any map service enabled in the map. The layer in the resulting PDF displays jumbo sized points, and I cannot figure out why or what to change. Thanks in advance for any advice!
Javascript
printTask = new esri.tasks.PrintTask(printUrl, { //new instance of print job async: false //our service is set to syncronous }); params = new esri.tasks.PrintParameters(); //placeholder for our parameters to put in the script params.map = map; //reference to the active map object function print(){ //action to run when submit is clicked dojo.style(dijit.byId("statusDialog").closeButtonNode, "display", "none"); document.getElementById("printStatus").innerHTML = " Converting to PDF <img src='loader.gif'>"; var title = dijit.byId("title").get("value") //parameter[2] var subtitle = dijit.byId("subtitle").get("value") //parameter[3] var agent = dijit.byId("agent").get("value") //parameter[4] var legendLayer = new esri.tasks.LegendLayer(); params.template = { layout: mxdTemplate, format: 'PDF', preserveScale: false, layoutOptions: { legendLayers: [] } }; params.outSpatialReference = map.spatialReference params.extraParameters = { Title: title, Subtitle: subtitle, Agent: agent }; //the custom parameters for the python script printTask.execute(params, printComplete, printError); //run the task, completion triggers 'printComplete' function, any error triggers printError } function printComplete(result){ dojo.style(dijit.byId("statusDialog").closeButtonNode, "display", "block"); console.log(result.url); document.getElementById("printStatus").innerHTML = "<a href='" + result.url + "' target='_blank'><b>Download PDF<b></a>" //link to the PDF } function printError(error){ dojo.style(dijit.byId("statusDialog").closeButtonNode, "display", "block"); document.getElementById("printStatus").innerHTML = "An unexpected Error has occured <br>( " + error + " )<br> try saving again" //error warning popup }
Python GP service
import arcpy import os import uuid # Param 0 = INPUT JSON STRING # Param 1 = OUTPUT FILE # Param 2 = Layout Template # Param 3 = Title # Param 4 = Subtitle # Param 5 = Agent # Input WebMap json Web_Map_as_JSON = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) # The template location in the server data store templateMxd = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2) title = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(3) subtitle = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(4) agent = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(5) # Convert the WebMap to a map document result = arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument(Web_Map_as_JSON, templateMxd) mxd = result.mapDocument # Reference the data frame that contains the webmap # Note: ConvertWebMapToMapDocument renames the active dataframe in the template_mxd to "Webmap" df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, 'Webmap')[0] for elem in arcpy.mapping.ListLayoutElements(mxd,"TEXT_ELEMENT"): if elem.name == "Title": elem.text = title elif elem.name == "Subtitle": elem.text = subtitle elif elem.name == "Agent": elem.text = agent # Use the uuid module to generate a GUID as part of the output name # This will ensure a unique output name output = 'WebMap_{}.pdf'.format(str(uuid.uuid1())) Output_File = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, output) # Export the WebMap arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, Output_File) # Set the output parameter to be the output file of the server job arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1, Output_File) # Clean up - delete the map document reference filePath = mxd.filePath del mxd, result os.remove(filePath)
