CreateExportOptions example

The following script exports a MapSeries object using default PDFFormat properties but configures the MapSeriesExportOptions to export a custom set of map series pages.

p = arcpy.mp.ArcGISProject('current')
l = p.listLayouts('Layout_MS')[0]
ms = l.mapSeries

pdf = arcpy.mp.CreateExportFormat('PDF', r'c:\temp\MS_PDF.pdf')

msExOpt = arcpy.mp.CreateExportOptions('MAPSERIES')
msExOpt.setExportPages('CUSTOM')
msExOpt.customPages = '1-3'

ms.export(pdf, msExOpt)
