Provide Print and Export functionality directly from ArcCatalog (also in batch mode). Allow to print/export everything possible, including: MXD Layout View (including DDP), MXD Data View and all other MXD elements accessible by Display and manage Map Document contents in ArcCatalog Data contents (Geography, Table, Coordinate System, etc.) with advanced output formatting Folder contents (List, Details, Thumbnails, etc.) Native ArcGIS files (Styles, Expressions, etc.) Catalog Tree etc.   ArcCatalog could also provide Pre-flight service useful even before map print or expedition (also on batch basis) as requested in Automatically detect potential issues before printing or exporting maps.   Related Idea: Advanced Print/Export in ArcMap   ...

Important improvements are needed in the field of Print and Export Management to enhance currently limited output settings (this idea takes inspiration from Adobe Acrobat).   Map Range – besides the whole Layout allow to print/export only: Current View or user specified window Selection – print/export only selected objects in layout Element Type – print/export chosen map element type (Data Frame, Legend, Text, etc.) Element Name – choose to print/export specific objects by name Printable/All Layers – output printable layers only or all (Layer printability idea) Map Scaling to output paper size: Print as is (1:1) – missing this basic and fundamental option which can’t be replaced by setting the first tile (inefficient workflow) Exact Zoom – user defined zoom % of map size  Fit to Paper Size – enlarge or reduce map to fit printable area (currently only shrink possible) Multiple Maps Per Sheet (applicable to DDP or more layouts) – print multiple maps on the same sheet. Provide additional settings: Maps Per Sheet, Page Order, Print Page Border, and Auto-Rotate Maps. Tile Map to Printer Paper with settings: Tile Scale, Overlap, Cut Marks, and Labels Map Positioning: Auto Rotate and Center – best map vs. printer paper orientation match  Printer’s marks Print contents of UI windows and settings with advanced layout and formatting possibilities: Attribute Table Table Of Contents Layer and Data Frame Properties Create Features window Attributes window Catalog window etc. Related Idea: Automatically detect potential issues before printing or exporting maps   ...

Introduce additional layer control functionality useful especially when printing maps or editing data. Allow possibility to set which layer is printable/exportable and editable independently of layer visibility or selectability with option to override all of these settings on Group, Data Frame and Layout level. Integrate these controls to Layer Properties: and Table Of Contents:   Layer print/export settings (inspired by Adobe Acrobat): Always Prints – forces the layer to print (even if not visible). Never Prints – forces the layer not to print. Prints When Visible – matches printed output to visibility. Layer lock settings: Lock Editing Partial Editing Lock – only Table / only Geometry Lock TOC position Layer selection settings: Selectable Locked Selection – keep features in layer selected till unlocked Not Selectable   Related ideas: Universal Control Panel, Quick icons tab ...
