I believe what is happening is each time a raster is added, the df extent is being set only to that raster.  You will need to set the df extent prior to export to PDF.  The following worked on my 10.1 machine. (note the paths are different). import arcpy, os from arcpy import env  # Workspace inDir = (r'C:\Temp\Images')  # Specify map document mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r'C:\Temp\Images\Imagery.mxd')  # Specify data frame df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, 'Layers')[0]  # Import file  dirList = os.listdir(r'C:\Temp\Images') for fname in dirList:     if fname.endswith('.TIF'):         print inDir + os.sep + fname         lyrFile = arcpy.mapping.Layer(inDir + os.sep + fname)         arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, lyrFile)          #set df extent newExtent = df.extent newExtent.XMin, newExtent.YMin = 1017500, 629600 newExtent.XMax, newExtent.YMax = 1023000, 639200 df.extent = newExtent  arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, r'C:\Temp\Images\Imagery.pdf' Note you found a loophole in using arcpy.mapping.Layer.  It is intended to add layer files, not source data.  The rasters may not render the way that you want them.

After moving to 10x, you will want to look into Data Driven Pages and/or arcpy.mapping. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/What_are_Data_Driven_Pages/00s90000003m000000/ http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/#/Introduction_to_arcpy_mapping/00s300000032000000/ Jeff ...

This is an unintended feature.  The Layer function was originally designed to work only with layer files.  We have been made aware of its other uses.  Because users are starting to use it we avoided preventing it from working but choose not to update the help because of unknown, untested consequences. Also - The Layer function is the same name as the Layer Class, just like the MapDocument function has the same name as the MapDocument Class.  They were designed to work the same way. This issue is being evaluated. Thanks, Jeff ... View more

If you are simply trying to export all pages using the page name as the output pdf name, try: import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"S:\GIS\Appalachia\Map Projects\Midstream\Exhibits\Gathering Maps\Gathering Mapbook.mxd") ddp = mxd.dataDrivenPages ddp.exportToPDF(r"C:\Temp\Page", "ALL", multiple_files = "PDF_MULTIPLE_FILES_PAGE_NAME" Will produce a bunch of pages using the DDP index name field with a "Page" prefix.

The 2 immediate issues I see is that 1) you don't have [0]'s after your list functions and 2) you have a for loop but no indentation. import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("My_MAP") mainDF = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "DFA")[0] locatorDF = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "DFB")[0]  for DDP_Page in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):   mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = DDP_Page   Rotate = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow.Rotate #where Rotate is the name of the field in the attribute with the rotation values     locatorDF.rotation = Rotate Another way to do this is to get the rotation property value from one DF and apply to the other.  For example, locatorDF.rotation = mainDF.rotation You are not exporting or saving so your current code won't show immediate results. There is an enhancement request on "link to another data frame's extent" to automatically include rotation. Jeff ... View more
