VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine

The VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine is an optional installation that offers the following printing enhancements:

Generates printouts via a web tool, which you can access via the ArcGIS Server REST interface, referenced in the VertiGIS Studio project. The 64-bit architecture of ArcGIS Enterprise helps to avoid the known memory limitations of 32-bit processes.
Eliminates problems with displaying transparencies (for example, selection graphics).
Provides the ability to print ArcGIS feature services and vector tiles.
Improves quality through vectorized content, even at 96-dpi screen quality.
Improves performance when generating the print outputs.
Aligns functionality with the Esri platform, through integration via a web tool.
Supports independent installation from the ArcGIS version in use.

There are two versions of the Printing Engine installer. You can install the Printing Engine tool in different versions depending on the installation target, as shown in the table below.

	ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1 or lower	ArcGIS Enterprise 11.0 or higher
Engine Tool (v.2)	X
Engine Tool (v.3)		X

Install With Setup

Prior to installing the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine, you must ensure the following requirements are met:

The minimum required ArcGIS Enterprise version is 10.8.1.
The installer must be executed on a machine where either ArcGIS Pro or ArcGIS Enterprise is installed. Typically, this should be the map authoring machine.

To install the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine:

Download and run the installer for the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine from the VertiGIS Studio Product Downloads.

In the next step, the files required for the installation are stored in the target directory.

Click Install to begin the installation.

When the installation is complete, ensure the checkbox is selected to Launch VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine Post Installer.

Click Finish to start the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine Post Installer. This will publish and set up the Printing Engine tool (GP Service) on the ArcGIS Standalone Server or Portal for ArcGIS.

Select ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online for the layout source.

As ArcGIS Standalone Server is supported, VertiGIS Studio requires your layout source be ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Online.

Select Portal for ArcGIS for your ArcGIS Connection and enter your portal URL.

Enter the Service folder and Service name of your service deployment.

Verify the configurations in the Summary screen.

Click Next to complete the installation.

After successful installation, the VertiGIS Studio Printing Engine Tool appears in ArcGIS Enterprise or ArcGIS Server Standalone.

After installation, you can access the ArcGIS Pro Layout Mode setting, which allows you to convert print layouts from and to ArcGIS Pro.
