I have generated about 90 maps through data driven pages(ArcGIS 10.0). I now want to export them as .jpg files in either landscape or portrait format. I tried python but it is not working, it worked to export as.png though. Any suggestions?

What part of the export from python did not work? Did it throw an error of some sort? If you still want to try python and jpg, then it might help to post the code if you think there is a problem with it. Providing more detail will help you get a better answer.

I used python code to parse out JPEGs generated from Data driven pages. this method is very useful with one wants to extract multiple maps at once in any format. – mridul May 11 '12 at 19:48
import arcpy mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument(r"YourMapfilePath") print mxd.dataDrivenPages.getPageIDFromName("Index Layer name") for i in range(1, mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageCount + 1): mxd.dataDrivenPages.currentPageID = i row = mxd.dataDrivenPages.pageRow arcpy.mapping.ExportToJPEG(mxd, r"Output Path " + row.Index Layer Name + ".jpg") del mxd – mridul May 11 '12 at 19:51
