in the example of the flex viewer 3.0 the print widget is actually useful and makes a map not just an image
from this address
http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/live/index.html

BUT the "whats new in 3.0" has the same old print widget listed
http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Print_widget/01m30000003600...

Will the version 3.0 print widget have the functionality of that on the demo site or the limits of its current form?

I'm having some issues with some users not being able to print the basemap layers.  The map shows the operational layers and all of the layout elements fine but the baselayers don't show up in the PDF.  When I go to do the same task, I am able to see this just fine.  Is there some setting that may be causing some users to not be able to see the basemaps?

I have created a custom Layout, configured it using the ExportWebMap, and made it a service on my ArcGIS server 10.1.  Problem is, I am trying to find a way to make the Title of my map change (dynamic) by allowing the user to put their own title.

I have posted this before and have not got ANY response by ESRI...

HELLO...Where are you ESRI? Your tutorial doesn't cover this!!

I have figured out how to add the tile, author and copyright on a custom layout template.  First you have to add text to your map. Do the following in the text properties box:

For Map title:
Copy <dyn type="document" property="title" emptyStr = " "/> in the text box. In the Size and Position tab, type Map Title in the Element Name box
For Copyright:
Copy <dyn type="document" property="credits"  emptyStr = " "/> in the text box. In the Size and Position tab, type Map Document Credits in the Element Name box
For DATE:
Copy <dyn type="date" format="MMMM d, yyy"/>  in the text box. In the Size and Position tab, type Date in the Element Name box
For DATE:
Copy <dyn type="document" property="author" emptyStr = " "/> in the text box. In the Size and Position tab, type Author in the Element Name box

Hope this helps

ok, I was able to get that to work using a template sort of.  First of all, if I don't enter a value in Title in the widget, Title is what appears.  Maybe I should just put something like My Map as a default in the xml?  Second, I added a Legend but all I get for that is the word Legend on the printout and no legend.  Is there a setting that needs to be made to make this work?  Lastly, I put a logo on the template and it does not appear.  I attached what I am seeing.


The easiest way is to save the logo in the MXD. Right-click on the image and go to the properties and check the box to 'Save Image as Part of the Document'.
