Overview
This widget brings ArcGIS Pro style map printing into ArcGIS Experience Builder without needing a print service. You share a layout from ArcGIS Pro as a layout file (.pagx), import it once in the widget settings, and the widget rebuilds that page in the browser against your live map: map frame, title and text, north arrow, scale bar, legend, pictures, and lines.

This is the first release and I am putting it out as a beta. I would like the community to run it against real layouts and real maps before I call it stable. If you can try it and send feedback, that would be a big help. See "What I would like help testing" below.
Note: Requires ArcGIS Experience Builder Developer Edition 1.19 or 1.20 (React 19). 1.18 and earlier are not supported.
Note: The widget dependencies install automatically with the standard "npm install" in the EB client folder. No separate install needed.
Note: Import an ArcGIS Pro layout file (.pagx) in the widget settings to define the page. There is also an optional Esri print service path if you would rather use a server side ExportWebMap service.
What Can This Widget Do?
- Reproduces an ArcGIS Pro .pagx layout in the browser (map frame, text, lines, north arrow, scale bar, pictures, legend), calibrated against real Pro output.
- Exports PDF and SVG as true vector, plus PNG32, PNG8, JPG, GIF, TIFF, and EPS. No print service required.
- Optional Esri print service path (an ExportWebMap URL) for server side layouts, which also adds AIX.
- Print area preview drawn on the map, so you see what will print before you export. Keep the current scale, keep the current extent, set a fixed scale, or pick one from a list, with a lock toggle.
- 12 north arrow styles and 9 scale bar styles shown as thumbnails, plus a Layout default option.
- Output coordinate system (WKID) to print in a different projection than the map.
- Author, copyright, and attribution tokens. Legend and map only export. Custom fonts by URL, including a Google Fonts import.
- Recent exports list, and XML import and export of the whole configuration.
- Administrator control over the default settings, which formats are offered, and which runtime controls end users see.
What I Would Like Help Testing
- Your own ArcGIS Pro .pagx layouts. Import one and tell me how close the output is to Pro. If something is off, sending the .pagx and a screenshot lets me reproduce it.
- The print area preview and scale lock, across different basemaps and projections.
- The Esri print service path, pointed at your own ExportWebMap URL.
- Output coordinate system, printing in a WKID different from your map.
- Custom fonts by URL and the Google Fonts import in PDF output.
How to report back: comment here or open an issue on GitHub. Include your EB version, your browser, and any browser console errors. A short screen recording helps a lot (I use OBS Studio).
