I have in the past selected both the embed fonts and convert marker symbols to polygons options when exporting to PDF. I have determined that un-checking the convert marker symbols to polygons option results in a non-corrupt PDF. What would cause this change of behavior if I have not changed/upgraded my GIS software?

Xander, Thanks for the reply but I do not use non-US decimal separators in ArcGIS.

Jayanta, No, converting features to graphic is not a viable solution. The problem is persisting across all map documents with point symbols. I have had my Citrix profile reset by the IT Department, and a new installation of ArcGIS. The first map produced with the reset profile and the new ArcGIS installation produced a good PDF, any subsequent attempts have resulted in the same issue.

Or you could create a new attribute (call it modulo) and populate it with a modulo value using the Object ID and a value of say 10, then select all the records with a modulo value of 0 and and export only those records ( 1/10th of those originall records) to a CSV. That way you could preserve the original point values of the 30 m DEM and not end up with the point values of the resampled surface.

Chris, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately this is all happening on the same computer I have been using for a few years now. I am viewing the PDF on the same machine that has the ArcGIS 10.3 installation. I did not have this problem a few weeks ago. The point symbols in question are an ESRI circle 2 symbol and not based on a proprietary font. I have not (I cannot) install fonts due to restrictions imposed by my employer. My IT help department has tried rebuilding my Citrix profile and reinstalling the PDF driver to no avail.

I have recently started having troubles exporting to PDF where certain colored circle marker symbols appear as black dots. I have read the information posted here: 17783 - Diagnose an ArcMap printing or exporting problem but get the following results when publishing as EMF. If I export to EMF and view the resulting file in MS Paint the symbols appear as they do in ArcMap. If I export to PDF from ArcMap 10.3 I get some colored dots appearing as black dots and others appearing as they should. If I add the EMF file to an MS Word document all the dots appear as crescents. Why is this happening and what can I do to fix the issue? FYI, I do not have (or want) ArcGIS Pro. Above is the original from ArcMAp Above is the EMF as it appears in Word.

Yes, I have seen this behavior many time in 10.3. I was considering an upgrade to 10.3.1 hoping to solve this very issue but I see now that there is no point to do the upgrade. Thanks for posting the (time consuming) workaround.

I have a Model Builder model that uses a feature set to l prompt the user to draw a line in the data view. The model calls a Python script and calculates the true north azimuth of that line, labels the line with the azimuth value, and adds that new layer to the table of contents (all outside of an edit session!). My problem---I have a layer file stored in the same directory as the toolbox, model, and script. The layer file stores symbology (which is an arrow head and the end of the line). In the script I can define a full path to the layer file to import symbology to the newly created line, but I am looking to use relative paths to define that symbology so that when I share the tool, the user will not have to alter any code. I know from the ESRI help that You cannot type relative paths (using the dot and double-dot notation) in any ArcGIS application. Nor can you use relative paths in Python scripts. A relative path cannot span disk drives. For example, if your current directory is on drive D, you cannot use relative paths to navigate to any directory on the E drive. But, since I am using an ArcGIS Feature Set via a model to get the input from the user I wonder if there is some workaround.

Luke, shouldn't that be: lyr = arcpy.mapping.Layer(tempFC) arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(mxd.activeDataFrame, lyr,"TOP") In any case, it is still not working.

I don't get any errors, the code executes fine, but nothing is added to the TOC.

Dan, I am on ArcGIS 10.3 with Python 2.7 Here is the link to the ESRI help from ArcGIS 10 ArcGIS Desktop I did alter the code to have only one except statement but that was not the cause of the troubles...

Luke, sorry, nope, neither solutions worked.. arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(mxd.activeDataFrame, tempFC,"TOP") arcpy.mapping.AddLayer(mxd.activeDataFrame, "in_memory\\tempFC","TOP") ...but you are right about the two different error handlers. I have been using that method (copied from the ESRI arcpy examples) for years.
