So that means you can get the output quality the Pro but arcpy.mp can be used to automate the creation of multiple pages stitched together into one resulting PDF.ĪrcGIS Pro also supports Reports. Python can be used to automate the creation of multi-page output but the content is authored in Pro. Can you successfully create the page(s) in ArcGIS Pro on a layout?Īlso, your comment about Python in option #4 - ' no way the spatial component will look half as nice as Pro'. I'd like some more information about how the non-spatial page is being generated. I'm with Esri and work on both the Layout and Python Map Automation (arcpy.mp) teams. Option 5 is what I'm currently doing, but it comes with a host of its own limitations, and means that I have to work in two programs during my 'weekly update' process, which is sub-optimal.įinal note: I've tried making a reeeeeeally tall layout in Pro and hoping that in the 'Print to PDF' process it would cut them, but no. Option 4 is a maybe, but there's no way the spatial component will look half as nice as Pro, especially when it comes to labelling.

Option 3 we tried, but the increased loading time and unprintable nature of the page was not desirable for our users. Options 1 and 2 create separate files, which then have to be merged together, adding more steps and intermediate file storage to what is currently a batch process.

Make my layouts potentially tabloid-sized.

Use some sort of mail merge procedure to generate the non-spatial pages.

The biggest of these items are our Change Records we generate when changes are made to the cadastre.Ĭombining multi-page layouts with a Map Series would absolutely make my day.

I'm all for digital maps, but I know we have other folks in our county who want it on paper, and I'd like to conveniently oblige them. Or at least, not that the average person could print out. In the course of my work, there are a number of times when it is helpful to have spatial and non-spatial components on separate pages, and the sheer amount of information in my layout cannot realistically be squeezed into a single page. There is, alas, still one feature that I desperately want: multiple-page layouts. Still am, really, but as ArcGIS Pro has developed, I find myself needing to use Q less and less to hack together an as-yet-unimplemented feature in Pro. Before I came to work at an ESRI workplace, I was an avid QGIS user.
