A combo of Greg's and Darren's answer worked for me: import arcpy, os, string rootFolder = 'C:\\test' ctr = 1 for root, dirs, files in os.walk(rootFolder):    for name in files:            if name.endswith(".shp"):          # shapefile name without extension          shpName = os.path.splitext(name)[0]          # absolute file path          absFile = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(root,name))              # output file path             output_layer = rootFolder + '\\buffer_' + shpName + '_' + str(ctr) + '.shp'                  # buffer          arcpy.Buffer_analysis(absFile, output_layer, "1 Kilometers", "FULL", "ROUND", "ALL", "")          ctr = ctr + 1 ...

As steve way says, you can use a custom panel CSS size class.  In "js/main.js" when the tool is created with toolbar.createTool(tool, panelClass), replace panelClass with your own custom class, which you also define in "css/styles.css". So in main.js => var mytool = toolbar.createTool(tool, "myPanel") and in styles.css => .myPanel{height:200px /*custom height*/} ... View more

For your extended idea you could still use the arcpy ExportToJPEG function to generate the JPEG/PNG files and combine the outputs with the python-pptx library to create a Powerpoint file. ... View more

I've experienced a similar issue and found the problem to be that the "layoutOptions" property of the print template MUST be specified for the legend to be definitely included in the printout.  Maybe it was just an isolated instance of the issue, but it sure worked for me.  I also tested it with Esri's latest version of the print service (http://utility.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task) Regards Frederick ...

Hi Tanu You can test if the issue is resolved with Esri's 10.3 version of the print service at http://utility.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task‌ ... View more

Esri will need to extend the printTemplate class so that you can set the "mapOptions" parameters.  See this link  http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/rest/apiref/exportwebmap_spec.html. If you can construct the Web_Map_as_JSON for the print task manually, you can specify the scale. ... View more

Unfortunately there is no method in the legend widget to do this, but it is possible with some legend element manipulation. I created a very simple example of how this can be done and here are the basic steps: 1) Get all the features currently in the map extent with a QueryTask request and make a list of unique values for the legend items you want to show in the end.  These values will be extracted from the field that the symbology is based on and might be displayed as a single symbol for grouped values. 2) Get the full legend for the Web Service layer (as JSON) with a standard GET request as described in the REST API. 3) Compare the values from (1) to the legend values from (2) and extract the label/symbol from the full legend.  Now you will have the legend symbols that correspond with the visible features in the map. 4) Manually rebuild the legend table with the label/symbol values from (3). Here is my code (a mix of Javascript dojo and jQuery), which I tested and it worked surprisingly well, but it is VERY rough and should be adapted according to your specific needs and Web Service: function clipLegend() {    // STEP 1: BUILD QUERYTASK    var queryURL = 'http://<myserver>/arcgis/rest/services/<myservice>/<layerID>';    var queryTask = new esri.tasks.QueryTask(queryURL);    var query = new esri.tasks.Query();      query.where = "1=1";    query.outFields = ["TYPE"];         query.geometry = map.geographicExtent;    query.returnGeometry = false;    query.spatialRelationship = esri.tasks.Query.SPATIAL_REL_INTERSECTS;    var valList = [];    // run query task    queryTask.execute(query, function(results){       // iterate features in result (visible features) and create a list of unique values       for (r in results.features){          // get feature attributes          var attr = results.features .attributes;          // value          var val = attr['TYPE'];          // add to value list          if (valList.indexOf(val) == -1) {             valList.push(val);          }               }       // done creating value list             // clear Legend table       $('.esriLegendLayer').html('')             // STEP 2: get legend via REST API       $.get('http:/<myserver>/arcgis/rest/services<myservice>/legend?f=json', function(json){          // STEP 3: compare value list to layer legend and select         // label/symbol list          var clipList = [];          for (labels in json['layers']) {             if (json['layers'][labels]['layerId'] == <layerID>){                // legend for layer                var leg = json['layers'][labels]['legend'];                              // iterate labels                for (label in leg){                   if ('values' in leg[label]) {                      // get values for that make up current label symbology                      var labelVals = leg[label]['values'];                      /// check in which label/symbol category the feature value falls                      for (v in valList){                         // use only label/symbol categories with a value list                         if (labelVals.indexOf(valList ) != -1) {                            // add unique label value to clip list                            if (!(leg[label]['label'] in clipList)) {                               clipList[leg[label]['label']] = leg[label]['url'];                            }                                                                              }                      }                   }                }                           }                    }          //  STEP 4: rebuild legend table          for (c in clipList){             var url = clipList ;                        var img = queryURL + '/images/' + url;             $('.esriLegendLayer').append('<tr><td><img src="'+ img +'"></td><td align="left">' + c + '</td></tr>');          }       }, "json");         }); } Hope it helps.  Let me know if you get lost in the explanation. ...

@john Thanks for the info.  It is not just the Javascript API that causes the problem - I generate a custom JSON string from an OpenLayers app to send to the AGS print service and the polygon graphic legend item always displays without an outline, even though the actual map graphics display correctly, so my bet is there is some interpretation error on the server side.  The other strange thing is that a point symbol uses "type": "esriSMS" and "style": "esriSMSCircle" for the fill, compared to a polygon feature's '"type": "esriSFS" and "style": "esriSFSSolid", while the outline is actually the same for both "type": "esriSLS","style": "esriSLSSolid".  The point is in effect a circle polygon and symbolizes correctly on the legend and map, while the polygon symbol does not. The Javascript API has some other problems too when it comes to graphics layers as described in this well known forum post: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/61448-Problen-with-the-Print-Task ...
