Bug

Exporting a map using Python ExportToPDF creates a PDF in which the Adobe Measure tool cannot be used, whereas exporting from ArcMap does not have the issue.

Additional Information

The SID data provided in this example did NOT have a coordinate system (CS), therefore the data frame did NOT have a CS. Exporting to PDF when a CS is not included but georef information is turned on, measuring anything in the PDF does NOT make sense. A solution to the issue is to assign a CS to the data frame.
