Is it possible to export the extents of all bookmarks in an active map document to a shape file containing the polygons of the shape and/or to automate the print to pdf of all the bookmark extents.

The code for doing this with extents is below but I want to do the same with bookmarks.

[code] > import arcpy, glob, os, sys from arcpy import env from arcpy import mapping from datetime import datetime from time import strftime

env.overwriteOutput = True

path = os.getcwd() # Script in same directory as files being processed path2 = path + r'\temp_extents' mxdList = glob.glob(path + "*.mxd") #env.workspace = path + '\extents' # Directory as files being processed

print 'Reading mxd files from ' + path #os.remove(path2 + r'*.*') #os.rmdir(path2) os.mkdir(path2) env.workspace = path2 print 'Working in ' + env.workspace

x = 0 y = 1 z = 1

while y < 7:

for mxd in mxdList:

    mxd2 = mapping.MapDocument(mxd)
    print 'Processing ' + mxd

    try:
        dataframe = mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd2, "*")[x]
        frameExtent = dataframe.extent
        XMAX = frameExtent.XMax
        XMIN = frameExtent.XMin
        YMAX = frameExtent.YMax
        YMIN = frameExtent.YMin
        pnt1 = arcpy.Point(XMIN, YMIN)
        pnt2 = arcpy.Point(XMIN, YMAX)
        pnt3 = arcpy.Point(XMAX, YMAX)
        pnt4 = arcpy.Point(XMAX, YMIN)
        array = arcpy.Array()
