I'm just getting my feet wet with the PrintTask functionality in v3.3 of the API. Ideally, I just wanted to take what I see on the screen, export it to a JPEG, and then insert that into a "report" that I build on the fly with JS & HTML. I'm using PrintTask and the "Export Web Map Task" from our 10.1 install of ArcGIS Server. The first attachment (screenshot01) is what I see on my screen. The second attachment (screenshot02) shows the exported JPEG as it appears in my generated report.As you can see, they only loosely resemble each other. I have two census feature layers that have dynamic labels which do not even show up in the exported JPEG (this might be a bug? I recall reading a thread recently somewhat related to this..). Next, the linework in the exported image are huge and bloated compared with what I see on screen. How do I produce an exported image that is as close to WYSIWYG as possible?Here's my relevant code for my printTask creation: pTemplate = new esri.tasks.PrintTemplate();
pTemplate.exportOptions = {
width: 600,
height: 400,
dpi: 300
};
pTemplate.format = "jpg";
pTemplate.layout = "MAP_ONLY";
pTemplate.preserveScale = false;
pTemplate.showAttribution = false;
var params = new esri.tasks.PrintParameters();
params.map = map;
params.template = pTemplate;
thePrintTask = new esri.tasks.PrintTask(url);
thePrintTask.execute(params, function(result) {
jpgMapDiv = theDocument.createElement("div");
jpgMapDiv.setAttribute("id","jpegMap");
setStyle(jpgMapDiv, {
width : '95%',
height: '400px',
marginRight : 'auto',
marginLeft : 'auto',
borderTop: '2px solid black',
padding: "10px"
});
jpgMapDiv.innerHTML = "<img src=\"" + result.url + "\" style=\"border:2px solid black;left:25%\"\>";
theDocument.body.appendChild(jpgMapDiv);
}); THANKS!Steve
