python – Exporting Table View as PDF Using ArcPy and Python

arcpyexportpdfpythontable

I am using ArcPy to select from a layer and display the result on map as a table view.

Now I want to export the table view as a PDF format.

Anybody know about it?

If it is beyond ArcPy to export as PDF directly, with intermediate format also welcome.

You may be able to put something together with ReportLab. There is a sample script that uses ReportLab to make a set of page indexes for a mapbook on arcgis.com that may be useful as a reference.

If my Comment does not help, or in any event, can I suggest that the following may provide a slightly more elegant way to zoom to the extent of a where clause result. I did it your way at first but have been doing it as below for quite a while.

lyr.definitionQuery = SqlWhere
df.extent = lyr.getSelectedExtent(False)

ArcPy – Adding Table to Layout View in ArcGIS 10.1

It is not possible to create a new Layout Element from scratch using ArcPy but since ArcGIS 10.1 you have been able to clone graphic and text elements.

In the GraphicElement (arcpy.mapping) help there is code that shows you how to use cloning to:

construct a graphic table based on data values from a table in the map document.

If you are not keen on using ArcPy to do this then there are a number of ArcGIS Ideas to which I recommend that you add your vote:
