The tool VertiGIS Printing allows the user to create high-quality print documents in various file output formats, sizes and resolutions based on a geoprocessing service.

For example, the PrintingTools provided by default during ArcGIS Server installation can be used as geoprocessing service, or the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine geoprocessing service.

More details about using tool VertiGIS Printing with VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine geoprocessing service see Configuration as tool in WebOffice.

For information about installing VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine see chapter Installation with Setup.

 

If you want to use the default ArcGIS Server PrintingTools, assign the value Export Web Map Task for the attribute Identifier of the geoprocessing task in the configuration.

However, if you want to use the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine Tools, assign in the configuration those GP tasks which are described in chapter Configuration as a tool in WebOffice.

ESRI does not recommend changing these templates or adding additional templates (see https://enterprise.arcgis.com/de/server/latest/publish-services/windows/tutorial-publish-additional-layouts-for-printing-with-arcgis-pro.htm).
