I have few thousand rasters in AK zone 4 state plane on NAD83 and in UTM5/6  on GRS 80 that I am trying to mosaic into Web Mercator. Arc is reporting that I need a transformation but I do not see an esri transformation for it. I understand that the ellipsoids are almost the same.

I do have a function applied to change meters to feet...  MD properties I don't understand why this error is showing up... ... View more

We have a script tool that exports mxd maps and mapbooks to pdf. Some of the mapbooks are large 144 pages. It is sometimes failing and sometimes working fine. I am not sure what the issue is... import os import arcpy import tempfile import shutil def remove_pdf(pdf_path):     if os.path.exists(pdf_path):         os.remove(pdf_path) parameter = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) dir_list = parameter.split(";") for in_path in dir_list:     in_path =  in_path.replace("""'""", "")     input_files = os.listdir(in_path)     #for dirpath, subdirs, files in os.walk(in_path):     for f in input_files:         temp_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()         if f.endswith("mxd"):             mxd_path = os.path.join(in_path, f)             mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(mxd_path)             if mxd.isDDPEnabled:                 map_book_path = mxd_path[:-3] + "pdf"                 remove_pdf(map_book_path)                 map_book_pdf = arcpy.mapping.PDFDocumentCreate(map_book_path)                 arcpy.AddMessage("\nExporting mapbook: " + os.path.join(in_path, f))                 for page in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):                     arcpy.AddMessage("\tExporting mapbook page: " + str(page))                     pdf = os.path.join(temp_dir, "map" + str(page) + ".pdf")                     mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = page                     arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, pdf)                     map_book_pdf.appendPages(pdf)                 map_book_pdf.saveAndClose()                 arcpy.AddMessage("Export Complete")             else:                 arcpy.AddMessage("\nExporting map: " + os.path.join(in_path, f))                 map_pdf_path = mxd_path[:-3] + "pdf"                 remove_pdf(map_pdf_path)                 arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, map_pdf_path)                 arcpy.AddMessage("Export Complete")         shutil.rmtree(temp_dir) arcpy.AddMessage("\nAll Exports Complete") ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Error: Exporting mapbook: X:\xxxx\mapbook.mxd      Exporting mapbook page: 1      Exporting mapbook page: 2      Exporting mapbook page: 3      Exporting mapbook page: 4      Exporting mapbook page: 5 Failed script ExportToPDF...   Traceback (most recent call last):   File "X:\Tools\Export_PDF\Dev\pdfExport.py", line 31, in <module>     arcpy.mapping.ExportToPDF(mxd, pdf)   File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.4\arcpy\arcpy\utils.py", line 182, in fn_     return fn(*args, **kw)   File "c:\program files (x86)\arcgis\desktop10.4\arcpy\arcpy\mapping.py", line 1156, in ExportToPDF     layout.exportToPDF(*args) AttributeError: PageLayoutObject: Error in executing ExportToPDF   Failed to execute (ExportToPDF).
