Is there an easy way to create a polygon that matches the data frame in my page layout? I'm trying to set up data driven pages and want to have it key off of polygons that frame the boundaries for each page. I would like to see them as polygons so that I can re-position as necessary and quickly visualize what will appear on each page.

I was wondering about the same but found that there is no such out-of-the-box tool.

I made an add-on for this. You can download it here: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=a9b032f739254ebeb6221c9294ebc886

I figured it would probably require some coding and it looks like you've already done all the work. Thanks! It's exactly what I need. – spencerrecneps Aug 13 '12 at 18:17
It says it was downloaded 17 times but I didn't receive any comments. Works pretty good for me but if you find any glitches let me know and I will correct it. – Jakub Aug 13 '12 at 18:20
