ArcGIS Pro 3.0 and Pictures

[Homer]

Hi,

I recently upgraded to version 3.0 and when I open a old project file that contains pictures they show up blank.

There should be a table instead of a blank box, I was wondering if I should reinstall version 2.9 to fix this?

Thank You.

Hi Brandon, 

Sorry you are running into this issue.

I was able to reproduce a PDF output with the wrong picture - the picture should have been blank - for a map series page where the picture element source was an attachment using ArcGIS Pro version 3.0.3. Unfortunately this is a bug in Pro 3.0. It should be addressed in the Pro 3.1 release.

In the meantime, you can work around the issue by exporting via the Python window instead of the export pane.  You can learn more about exporting a map series via Python here https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/mapseries-class.htm. 

Here is a sample script you can paste in the Python window to export all layouts in a project to PDF.

##Export Map Series to PDF
aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT")
lyt = aprx.listLayouts()[0]
ms = lyt.mapSeries
ms.exportToPDF(f"C:\Temp\{lyt.name}.pdf", "ALL", resolution=300)
print("Done")

Hope this helps!

Tom
