@DougBrowning @PhilipMarty @JenMar_  Ah, I couldn't resist so I created a very simple script that creates 2 pages for every page in a map series.  The first is a map centric page based on a map series and the second page is a dynamic table (also based on a map series).  Both pages are synchronized to use the same map series page number.  They both don't need to use a map series.  You can use whatever logic you want. Here is a snippet of code that does it all: import arcpy, os, sys relpath = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]) #Set file name and remove if it already exists pdfPath = os.path.join(relpath, "Final.pdf") if os.path.exists(pdfPath): os.remove(pdfPath) #Create the file and append pages pdfDoc = arcpy.mp.PDFDocumentCreate(pdfPath) #Reference project and appropriate layouts and map series objects p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject(os.path.join(relpath, "MSWith2PagesPerPage.aprx")) #Landscape layout with dynamic Map Series table lyt2 = p.listLayouts('TableData_MS')[0] ms2 = lyt2.mapSeries #Portrait layout with Main Map Frame and Locator Map Frame with map series lyt1 = p.listLayouts('Layout_MS')[0] ms1 = lyt1.mapSeries #Iterate through each map series page driven by Layout_MS for pageNum in range(1, ms1.pageCount + 1): #Set the Map Series page, export, and append to the final output ms1.currentPageNumber = pageNum lyt1Output = os.path.join(relpath, "TempPageA.pdf") lyt1.exportToPDF(lyt1Output) pdfDoc.appendPages(lyt1Output) os.remove(lyt1Output) #Clean up temporary file after appending #Sync the second layout to match the same Map Series and export ms2.currentPageNumber = pageNum lyt2Output = os.path.join(relpath, "TempPageB.pdf") lyt2.exportToPDF(lyt2Output) pdfDoc.appendPages(lyt2Output) os.remove(lyt2Output) #Clean up temporary file after appending pdfDoc.saveAndClose() Capture.JPG   ...

@DougBrowning @PhilipMarty @JenMar_ A multi-page export per Map Series page is completely doable using arcpy.mp.  The UI does NOT provide these capabilities but the arcpy.mp API does.  All a spatial map series is are a bunch of properties that are based on the extent of each index feature.  If you use Python to drive the map series export (vs the UI), you can inject additional logic between each MapSeries page export. This even includes updating the extent of a map frame in another layout.   The closest example I can think of is a sample I wrote for ArcMap Data Driven pages (not updated but the logic is identical).  This example, uses 2 MXDs because only one layout per MXD is possible.  But Pro supports multiple layouts so you don't need multiple projects. https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=41f949b33f614f78a6dee485c4aaa5a8 Take a look at the code - it displays two map frames (even pages and odd pages) on a single layout rather than being forced to have one PDF per map series page.  You will see the main loop is based on one MXD that drives the data driven pages (in Pro called Map Series) and the second MXD has two separate map frames.  The extra logic happens between pages and the exactly one PDF is exported for every two strip index features.  It uses arcpy.mp to append the pages in the correct order creating a final, single, multi-page PDF.  One of you even mentioned NOT exporting a map series page if particular criteria are not met - using Python you decided when to export, etc. If this sample does NOT make any sense at all, I can try to write up a snippet but the logic will be the same.

Starting with Pro 2.5, this can be accomplished using Python CIM Access https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/python-cim-access.htm Here is a simple snippet: p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') lyt = p.listLayouts()[0] lyt_cim = lyt.getDefinition('V2')   #for 2.x and '3.0' for 3x for e in lyt_cim.elements:    if e.name == 'Rectangle':        print(elm.anchor) ###BottomLeftCorner   ...

One possibility is to include Python with your solution.  Python has all sorts of file management functions.  For example: if os.path.exists(os.path.join(someFolderPath, someFileName))     do something else:     do something else ... View more

Duncan, We have your repro steps and we are looking into it.  In the meantime, a possible workaround it so customize the size of the Layout to be the same size as the MapFrame and then export the Layout instead of the MapFrame.  The layout is exporting with the proper map frame extent as you indicate. ...

Thanks Duncan.  I can reproduce the issue with your data / script.  If I apply your scripting logic to data I have, I can NOT reproduce.  I will continue to dig.  I'm curious, is this the only data you can reproduce the issue with?  Also - are you getting unusually slow export times?  For me, it is even slower if I modify your script to work outside of the application. ...

I was running your code in the Python Window.  You are more than welcome to send me a small PPKX so I can ensure we don't have an extent bug.  [email protected] - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

We provided a fix in the ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 patch that addressed issues with > 10 anno subclasses.  Can you confirm that you are on 2.9.2?  If you are could you provide a screen shot of your problem anno subclass properties? Capture.PNG Thanks, Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

Hello Duncan,  I can NOT reproduce the issue.  The script successfully sets the MF extent by zooming to the features that match the Def Query. For me the exported PNG extent matches the MapFrame extent I see on the layout.  Lines 21 and 22 do not make sense to me in the context of  exporting a MapFrame.  You must be running the script with the LayoutView active instead of the map view.  If I activate the MapView and run your script, it all works as expected:  The MapView extent is only panned, while the MapFrame extent is zoomed to the QueryDef features. I tried all this on 2.9.  If you could provide more detail, I'd be happy to look futher. Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp teams ... View more

@DanaNajeeb  Do you want the text to appear 1) in a static location on the layout OR 2) as a label in the map as if you were labeling only selected features?  Here is a solution for #1.  It first ensures there is only 1 selected feature. You may have a different scenario. p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current') m = p.listMaps('Map')[0] l = m.listLayers('GreatLakes')[0] #Ensure one feature is selected, then get value numRows = int(arcpy.GetCount_management(l).getOutput(0)) if numRows == 1: table = arcpy.SearchCursor(l, ['OBJECTID']) for row in table: value = row.getValue('OBJECTID') else: exit #Reference layout and set text value lyt = p.listLayouts()[0] t = lyt.listElements('TEXT_ELEMENT', "MyText")[0] t.text = value   Depending on the details, for #2 an easier route might be to have a secondary layer for labeling and then apply a def query to that layer to match the selected features.  I guess this only works if a def query was used to create the selection in the first place.  Devil is in the details. Jeff - Layout and arcpy.mp Teams   Here is code that will work with the easier scenario: static text location on a layout.  I first ensure there is only one selected feature.  Devil is in the details. ...
