I am kind of new to anything Python and was using the Basic Printing tutorial script from ESRI, but when I try and run it it works for a while and then
my entire ArcCatalog crashes and asks if I would like to send a report. It is just the following code:
import arcpy
import os
import uuid
# Input WebMap json
Web_Map_as_JSON = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
# The template location in the server data store
templateMxd = r"c:\test\Template.mxd"
# Convert the WebMap to a map document
result = arcpy.mapping.ConvertWebMapToMapDocument(Web_Map_as_JSON, templateMxd)
mxd = result.mapDocument
# Reference the data frame that contains the webmap
# Note: ConvertWebMapToMapDocument renames the active dataframe in the template_mxd to "Webmap"
df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, 'Webmap')[0]
# Remove the service layer
# This will just leave the vector layers from the template
for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, data_frame=df):
if lyr.isServiceLayer:
arcpy.mapping.RemoveLayer(df, lyr)
arcpy.env.scratchWorkspace = 'c:/Temp'
# Use the uuid module to generate a GUID as part of the output name
# This will ensure a unique output name
output = 'WebMap_{}.pdf'.format(str(uuid.uuid1()))
Output_File = os.path.join(arcpy.env.scratchFolder, output)
# Export the WebMap
arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, Output_File)
# Set the output parameter to be the output file of the server job
arcpy.SetParameterAsText(1, Output_File)
# Clean up - delete the map document reference
filePath = mxd.filePath
del mxd, result
os.remove(filePath)
