Yes we have a few Desktop licenses here I believe. Would a single Online Organisational account cover all of the licenses? or does each license need their own account? Also do you have a UK number for activation? or email? Jake Skinner​ Thanks ... View more

Ok so, I followed your steps but don't have that Publish option available... I have Arc 10.0 if it makes any difference. ... View more

thanks I'll try this out and get back to you. Perhaps it should be made clearer on your website? ... View more

thanks guys, i will try both techniques and report back! EDIT: ok so I found Tim's solution was easiest and it worked fine for me. Although I didn't try Andy's, thanks anyway! ... View more

Ooh nevermind I found how to name the output files using the Name rather than the page number. Here is my final code, I hope it helps someone else out: >>> import arcpy ... mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT") #here I choose to export from the current mxd I'm running python from ... pageNumbers = [2,4,6,8] #here I have selected the page range I want exported ... for pageNum in pageNumbers: ...     mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = pageNum ...     pageName = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow.Name #here is a line I found elsewhere telling python where it can find the page name ...     print "Exporting page {0} of {1}".format(str(mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID), str(mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount)) ...     arcpy.mapping.ExportToTIFF(mxd, r"C:\FolderForExports\FILEname" + str(pageName) + ".tif") #here I've chose TIFF as my format and told python to add the page name to the end of each exported file ... del mxd ...

Ian, thanks that works great! I see you also have to delete the bit: 'pageNum in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):' and replace it with what you put. thanks One more question, the 2nd last line has a part where you can name the output files, in this case it says 'Free Air', but the  + str(pageNum) part adds the page number to the end of it. (ie. Free Air 1.jpg, Free Air 2.jpg etc.). Is there a way of using the name attribute from a field instead of pageNum? thanks ... View more

Hi Ian, choosing the page ranges should be easy, I just don't know how or where to tell python to only export the range I ask. I'm a python novice 100%. I just copied the code from Arc's help page and change the path names and export format (to .jpeg) ... View more

the page range could be anything. I just gave 1,3,5,7,9 as an example. ... View more

In my case, I'm going to give ESRI the benefit of the doubt and try to work out the new forums. Problem is, this situation shouldn't happen in the first place! If it ain't broke, don't fix it. ... View more

1. try increasing the resolution in the General tab on the export map dialogue, 2. then go to the advanced tab and try playing with the options there. Perhaps your version of Adobe Acrobat is too old? ... View more

Unfortunately arcpy.mapping can't work with the stretched renderer.  Rather than the raster being a permanent layer in the MXD, what if you tried adding and deleting it with each page?  Below is a sample snippet of code from the arcpy.mapping DDP Class help topic that I modified to add/remove your raster between DDP pages.  It just requires that you save your raster out as a layer file. import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"C:\Project\ParcelAtlas.mxd") df = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd, "Layers")[0] rasLyrFile = arcpy.mapping.Layer(r"C:\Project\Data\Basemap.lyr") for pageNum in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1):     mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = pageNum     arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(df, rasLyrFile, "BOTTOM")   #You can use InsertLayer for more precise placement       mxd.dataDrivenPages.exportToPDF(r"C:\Project\Output\Page" + str(pageNum) + ".pdf", "CURRENT")     arcpy.mapping.RemoveLayer(df, rasLyrFile) del mxd Jeff Jeff, I'm trying this code now in the python module of my DDP project. I replaced the layer and mxd location lines, and also the export location. However when I run it it says: Runtime error Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 3, in <module> IndexError: list index out of range ... View more
