When the layout file is exported, the map frames are blank, including those in other layouts within the same project.

Additional Information

Workaround

• The map frames are visible when you export the layout through the Python window; use this script to do so. 

"##Export to PDF aprx = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject("CURRENT") aprx.listLayouts() for lyt in aprx.listLayouts(): #**** ENTER THE LAYOUT NAME YOU WANT TO EXPORT INTO THE BRACKETS i.e. for lyt in aprx.listLayouts("Layout Name"): #Parameters: output name, resolution, image quality, compress vector graphics, image compression, embed fonts, layer attributes, georeference, jpeg compression, clip to elements, output as image, embed color profile #Image quality: "BEST", "BETTER", "NORMAL", "FASTER", "FASTEST" #Image compression: "ADAPTIVE", "DEFLATE", "JPEG", "LZW", "NONE", "RLE" #Layer attributes: "LAYERS_ONLY", "LAYERS_AND_ATTRIBUTES", "NONE" lyt.exportToPDF(f"C:\Temp\{lyt.name}.pdf", 150, "NORMAL", True, "ADAPTIVE", True, "LAYERS_ONLY", True, 80, False, False, False) print("Done")"

• Use the Print Layout option as if printing on a printer, and on Printer Name and select 'Microsoft Print to PDF'. The layout is exported to PDF successfully.
• Downgrade to ArcGIS Pro 3.3.x
• Try the following workflow:

1. Create a new project in ArcGIS Pro.
2. Copy the map from your original project into the new project.
3. Add a new layout in the new project.
4. Instead of importing the old layout or copying it directly, manually copy all layout components (e.g., text, legends) from the original layout into the new one.
5. Add a new map frame to the layout.
6. Try exporting the layout to PDF.
