Legend extends to additional pages when exporting web apps in ArcGIS Instant Apps

Description

When exporting a web app to PDF in an ArcGIS Instant Apps template such as the Sidebar template, the legend extends onto additional pages, often resulting in two or more pages, as shown in the image below.

Cause

This is by design. ArcGIS Instant Apps supports exporting PDFs only in portrait orientation. Consequently, when a web app is exported, extensive legend content may exceed the page length and print on additional pages.

Solution or Workaround

Adjust the browser print scale

Adjusting the print scale in the browser to a smaller value reduces the map and legend size, allowing both to fit on one page.

1. Log in to ArcGIS Instant Apps and click the My Apps tab.
2. Browse to the app and click Configure.
3. On the web app, click Export or Print .
4. Expand the File type drop-down menu and select PDF.
5. Click Export.

6. In the print preview window, under More settings, expand the drop-down menu and select Custom for Scale. Specify the preferred scale. In this example, 60 is specified.
7. Click Print.

The image below shows the map and legend displayed in one page when exported from ArcGIS Instant Apps.

Simplify the legend content

Hide or remove unnecessary layers in the legend to reduce its length and improve the chance of fitting both the map and legend on one page.

Use the Print tool in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer

Use the Print tool in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer to include both the map and legend in a single output layout. Confirm the Include legend checkbox in the Advanced options section of the Print tool is selected. Refer to ArcGIS Online: Print maps (Map Viewer) for instructions.
