Can a custom print service in ArcGIS Enterprise auto-wrap text?

Last Published: November 13, 2024

Answer

Yes, a custom print service in ArcGIS Enterprise can automatically wrap text starting from versions 11.3 and later.

In ArcGIS Pro 3.3, the Fitting Strategy option was introduced. This option offers the capability to configure layout templates that automatically wrap text within a defined box, preventing long single lines and improving readability.
