Hi,
I changed the output paths to have the direction *Input* instead of Output. This was a successful change. I added the arcpy.AddMessage() to print to the results dialog and it shows that everything is looping thru and exported. However, when I go to the output location, no pdf files are there - nothing has been exported!
Is it a slash syntax problem? Although they are marked as Folder data types, it seems that the real value for the path is not being created. The path still shows backslashes (C:\) rather than C:\\ (see attachment). If this is the case, this would be a major problem in general when creating a tool.
How should I update my code to make sure the correct paths are maintained? In other words, how do I convert the paths entered as arcpy.GetParameterAsText to Python rawstrings using the "r directive", or is there a better way?
