This seems like the sort of fun problem I enjoy coding, so here's a shot at it. Caveat, I'm rusty on a couple of these calls, and don't have the opportunity to test it right this second, so grain of salt:
import arcpy, os, pathlib
project_folder = r'D:\PROJ'
# Your directory that contains project files goes here.
# Also, if you're doing a raw string with r'', you shouldn't
# need to double-escape your backslash unless you actually
# WANT two backslashes. Also, this could be run on a folder
# that contains multiple subfolders each containing a project
# file, if you so desire. os.walk will go all the way down
# the rabbit hole looking for APRX files.
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(project_folder):
print(dirpath)
for filename in filenames:
# If it's not an APRX file, then we don't care, and can skip it.
if pathlib.Path(filename).suffix != '.aprx':
continue
# Pull the filename and its location as your mp object
print(f'Found Project: {filename}')
project_object = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(os.path.join(dirpath, filename))
for layout in project_object.listLayouts():
print(f' Found Layout: {layout.name}')
# Get the name from the Project Name (minus .aprx),
# the Layout Name, and of course a .pdf extension
pdf_name = os.path.join(pathlib.Path(filename).stem, layout.name, '.pdf')
layout.exportToPDF(pdf_name)
print('Complete.') # Nearly all IDEs will be clear when the script is finished,
# but I still do this out of habit for the handful that aren't.
The print commands aren't necessary, of course, but they'll let you keep track of what your script has found and where it is in the process.
