•To use the VertiGIS Printing tools, at least ArcGIS 10.8.1 is required. However, VertiGIS strongly recommends Esri product versions ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap) 10.8.2 and ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1, as these are Long Term Releases from Esri Inc. Furthermore, it is recommended to  use ArcGIS Pro  2.9.x.

•Due to known technical limitations, an error-free installation as well as use of VertiGIS Printing on ArcGIS 10.8.1 and older versions can no longer be guaranteed.

•Directly on the GIS server (where VertiGIS Printing is published) no ArcGIS Pro installation is mandatory. The administration of layouts and publishing of Web Tools can be done from an administration computer.

•If you already had a previous version of VertiGIS Printing installed before running the VertiGIS Printing setup (or even before the manual installation), please remove the possibly existing service via the ArcGIS Server Manager and (if present) also the files in the file system: .\arcgisserver\directories\arcgissystem\arcgisinput\VertiGIS_Utilities.

WARNING!

•In case of problems with the installation it is recommended to run the setup file as administrator via Windows command prompt (CMD.exe). This local admin user must have write permissions to the .\arcgisserver\directories\VertiGIS_PrintLayouts directory.

•If the post-installer and the associated publishing process is run under a user (e.g. administrator) who has never opened the ArcGIS Pro application on the machine with a correct licensing, the post-installer will abort with an error message (The Product License has not been initialized). In this case, the Windows user running the post-installer must have opened ArcGIS Pro at least once to ensure that the ArcGIS Pro license is correctly assigned.

•When using the VertiGIS Printing with ArcGIS 10.8.1 the installation of Patch ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 Print Service Patch and ArcGIS Server 10.8.1 Print Service and Text Element Patch is necessary!

•In a distributed server scenario the recommendation for the GIS server is (if no ArcGIS Pro is installed):
Before running the installer for VertiGIS Printing the folder VertiGIS_PrintLayouts should be created in the directory \arcgisserver\directories and registered on the GIS-Server (for more information about registration see ArcGIS online help). After that the installer can be started on the administration computer, on which ArcGIS Pro is installed.

•If problems occur during the installation setup, the installation can also be set up in manual steps. See chapter Manual setup (alternative).

The ArcGIS Server connection file can be created in  ArcCatalog when adding an existing ArcGIS Server site connection and is stored by default in the %appdata%\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop<Version>\ArcCatalog directory.

The Portal for ArcGIS connection must be at least of the Publisher user type.

The ArcGIS Server connection file can be created in ArcCatalog when adding an existing ArcGIS Server site connection and is stored by default in the %appdata%\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop<Version>\ArcCatalog directory.

The ArcGIS Server connection must at least be of type Publisher.

The VertiGIS Pro Print Task is only for printing from ArcGIS Pro (Desktop) and thus not relevant for WebOffice 10.9 SP2.

•Continue in chapter Migration of existing layout templates to ArcGIS Pro if you want to continue using existing print templates.

•Continue in chapter Configuration as Tool in WebOffice to be able to use the function in a %WEBOFFICE% project.

Please note that the GP service of VertiGIS Printing on Portal for ArcGIS must be manually removed afterwards. On ArcGIS Server standalone the existing GP service can be overwritten; however, this is NOT possible when using Portal for ArcGIS.
