Exporting map to pdf (ArcMap 10.3)

[LutzVogel1]

Hey Community,

after the installation from ArcMap 10.3 the option export map to pdf does not work (properly) anymore. Even with the smallest test project the printed pdf document has missing text, labels, legend, .... Have you faced the same problems. Exporting to jpg, tiff, png works fine.

Merry Christmas

Thank you for providing this Bug information.  Having a central location with all of these bug descriptions listed would be fantastic.

How ridiculous, export to PDF would be a basic function that you'd think they would get right. Lucky I am in an English speaking country!

Hi all!

I am french and a have the same thing. The ESRI office support of Paris gave me an alternative solution: create the PDF via a python script. Here's mine below.

mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"CURRENT")

path = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)

file = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)

all = path + file

arcpy.AddMessage(path)

arcpy.AddMessage(all)

# df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Your data frame")[0]

arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd,

    out_pdf=tout,

#    r »U:\your pdf path\pdf.pdf",

#   df_export_width=1600,

#   df_export_height=1200,

    resolution=300)

This script is used in a script tool with two parameters (path and file). So i must set "\" before the fine name. Can you help me improve my variable "all" please?

Thanks

Hi Nicolas,

I am interested in your idea creating a pdf via phython script.  Since I have never done it before may you be so kind and make some screenshots?

Thanks,

Silvia
