From layout view Share>Output group>Exported Layout, my gridlines do not show up if I export to a PDF or PNG.

When you're in your layout view, click on the map to select it, then go to Insert>Map Frames>Grid and you should have the option from there to add grid lines that will show up in your exported PDF. You can edit these grid lines from the Contents pane to tailor it to what you want.

I may have clicked on the wrong Map Frame on the TOC. Grid was grayed out and unavailable, so I was using the Grid on the bottom of the screen. I am now able to export that feature. TY

I have a similar question, but the solution of using the Map Frames>Grid isn't what I'm looking for.  I like the ability to easily size and rotate the grids using the grid icon on the bottom.  I created a simple layout with gridded map with gridlines that align to the landscape and labeled them.  It was a bad surprise when I saved to pdf and the gridlines had disappeared.  I attached a screenshot of what the layout looks like with the grids.  Is there any way to keep these gridlines on the saved or printed version? Thanks.
